Martyrs (2008)
Directed by Pascal Laugier
4.5/5ARCHITECT "LEEANNA"99 minQuick Hit
Martyrs comes off like an extreme-horror gut kickāpunishing, bleak, while the pressure keeps climbing.
Full Take
Martyrs leans hard into extreme horror energy, and Pascal Laugier keeps the tone punishing without letting the movie drift. The filmmaking is locked in, the atmosphere is doing real work, and the payoff earns the damage. This is the kind of horror that lingers after the credits.

Iām in the middle on this one. There are definitely some strong moments, but also parts that didnāt fully connect.
Kinda mixed but I get the appeal.
