Martyrs

Horror; R

2008

This might be pretty biased since like the last time I saw this was in eighth grade on an illegal website so it might've been worse than the og version... Also idk if it was the unrated version or not but I remember it being SO GOOD.

The reason that it's not a 10 is because the last half of the movie is basically just torture porn. And not the Saw kind where they have an interesting version of somebody in pain, but just like straight-up people being force-fed and shaved and hit.

I also like it because there isnt any sexual assault, and it makes a point of that in the first, like, scene, but I feel like for the point of the movie it would make a little sense for it to have ts, but like I'm glad that it doesnt have it.

That being said, it should TOTALLY be included in those "scary movies without SA" compilations on tiktok because the scariest movies they have are Hereditory and like??? okay come on guys.

Anyway, I really liked this movie. It has a really good plot and I think that the first half of the movie is REALLY REALLY REALLY good and then it kinda fades out in the other half.

Yeah this is prolly like really biased since i was expecting absolutely nothing coming into this movie, but it was still reallyyyy good.

That being said, I've seen a lot of reviews of this movie saying that it's the worst one on Tier 3(?) of the horror movie iceburg??? That canNOT be true. It actually wasn't bad at all. Lowkey poetic when you squint.

SPOILERED REVIEW!

FILLER TEXT

For the last scene, idk whether the lady died bc she wanted to experience death because now she knows what it is like or because she was scared of it and couldn't live with that knowledge. but idk that's just smth I've been thinking about.

I should prolly watch ts again...

Also the reason I like Anna is cuz she lowk reached Martyrdom! This means that the old ahh lady is dead!!! And maybe they'll stop the experiments..?

Probably not, actually. Oh well. Still tuff.

Am I glad I watched it?
Yes

Would I watch it again?
Yes

Would I recommend it to a friend?
Yes

Favorite Character

I like Anna bc she lowkey stayed w Lucie even after allat and was lowkey a great friend. Lucie was a close second cuz she was lowkey tuff ash but like I think Anna is better cuz she like was honestly a great friend negl

I would say more but I don't wanna spoil it lowkey... Oh well. The rest is in the spoilered section ig :P
