[Movie Review] Martyrs (2008)

Another french gem spotted!

This movie is one of the strongest movies I have ever seen without a doubt. The plot is revealed slowly and steadily, some might not get far enough to see the actual plot, for the movie is truly disgusting in all its beauty. The movie has 2 distinct parts but the less you know beforehand the better the enjoyment I'd say. Reality horror and a quest for answers, a rough ride to see the big picture. The scenery is minimalistic but serves the purpose magnificently, also sound effects and music do their job and aren't overused. The main actors are putting a plethora of strong emotions into play and the movie isn't shy about anything, it goes so far that it may be called tasteless but I don't think it is. Definitely not for minors, you can really feel the intensity of the scenes.

I'll give this movie a breathtaking 9½/10
