MARTYRS begins in the 1970s, with a young kidnapping victim named Lucie running through the streets, barely clothed and covered in cuts. At the hospital, she bonds with fellow patient--and abuse victim--Anna, and they forge a bond that lasts for years. More than a decade later, the violence in their lives continues, but this time they may not be the victims. [More]

Reviews for Martyrs
French horror cinema that doesn't shy away from the rough stuff and aims to bring a few extra layers to the typically anemic slash-and-smash concept.
Film should score OK with hardcore gore fans, but others will expect martyrdom for sticking it out until the end.
MARTYRS is this year's INSIDE, both films are legendary in their own right... The only negative thing about Laugier's film is that once you see it, you'll never be able to see it for the first time ever again...
