Horrific
Let me begin by clarifying that when I say 'horrific' I
don't mean that the film is awful, I mean that I was mentally disturbed by this
film due to its subject topic and graphic violence. However, it was bloody
brilliant.
Martyrs is an extreme horror/thriller movie from French director
Pascal Laugier telling the story of a twenty-something
year old girl (Lucie) who is out for revenge after being tortured as a child.
Lucie and her friend (Anna) track down the house of the people who tortured her
and it is from this location that the majority of the film takes place.
