Martyrs

Make no mistake, Martyrs is a nasty piece of work, but there’s a clear intelligence behind it and a genuine effect to reflect on the torture that ostensibly being offering up for our edification.

Not for the faint-hearted, this is powerful at times but brutal at every turn.

...the creature, jumping out at inopportune moments and writhing menacingly towards Lucie, works effectively when it appears.

Defying all boundaries, Martyrs relentlessly dishes the visceral pain and emerges as a work of not just ceaseless terror but also gravity and beauty.
