Martyrs is a very sad movie about two girls who grow up together in a mental institute. When they get out of the mental institute they both go out to seek revenge on the ones who torture one of the girls, Lucie. Which leads to a death of an entire family and a really sad twist for both of them. After Lucie shoots out a whole family, because the parents are the ones who tortured her. She kills her self, which leaves her friend all by her self where she is tortured until she reaches heaven.
I know the plot is really bizarre and may be hard to follow but trust me this is a fantastic movie. It's a french film and I have always been a fan of french movies. They all have a certain style about then which I enjoy allot. This is a really sad and depressing movie, this is not an uplifting or fun movie experience. Every time you think things can't get worse they do and thats what makes Martyrs a very effective movie. On a Technical aspect this is an amazing movie the cinematography, the lighting and the special effects are all amazing. Another thing that makes this movie so amazing is the fantastic acting featured in this move.
The reasoning behind all of the torture is to see if the person torturing them can hear of heaven. They want to torture someone mentally and physically to the point of near death so the person can tell them if there is a heaven. Which is an insanely messed up idea for a movie, but a very scary idea which makes the movie work.
I think this is a movie that is worth a watch because it is a new fresh idea for a horror film and it is executed very well. It's a really intense movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. But I will warn you that this is not a light hearted movie at all. this film really got to me and I think I should warn you before you watch it that this is a really extreme horror film. But if you can get through that this is an amazing horror movie viewing experience and should be seen by any fan of horror and any fan of French cinema. I would give this film an 8/10 because it's very well done but is a little hard to watch at some parts.
