Viewing Notes
I had mixed feelings about this Martyrs when I first heard about it. My gut reaction was that there was no way it would live up to the brutality and emotional impact of its French roots. How could it? The original Martyrs pulls no punches as it pulls the rug out from under the viewer’s feet. We’re introduced to characters, come to sympathize with them, and then… Well, let’s just say the movie is bleak as hell. I wondered if an American movie could be that bleak. It’s not impossible. And I’m not trying to sell American horror short. Obviously, it’s the best. I just worried that the people behind this remake might make some changes to the story in order to be more “commercially viable” or whatever. Did they? Well, keep reading and find out!
