Product Description

Product Description

Brothers Kevin and Michael Goetz co-direct this American horror remake of the notorious Pascal Laugier directed French cult classic.

The film begins as ten-year-old Lucie (Ever Prishkulnik) flees her captors in an isolated farmhouse and is taken into the refuge of a Catholic orphanage where she becomes best friends with fellow resident Anna (Elyse Cole).

Still traumatised ten years later, Lucie (Troian Bellisario) begins an obsessive quest to get her revenge on the people who tortured her. With Anna (Bailey Noble) by her side, she tracks down the couple responsible for her kidnapping but the pair soon find themselves at the mercy of a murderous religious cult and its leader Eleanor (Kate Burton)...

PLOT...
Young Lucie is a tormented girl who has visions of monsters trying to get her, when she was 10 years old she escaped from a warehouse where she was kept prisoner and horribly abused, she spends her life growing up in an orphanage and makes friends with Anna and starts to try and live a normal life. 10 years later still haunted by her demons she finds the family that tormented her as a child and goes to their home to get revenge, but something far worse is waiting for them as the truth comes out.

This is of course a remake of the 2008 original French movie of the same, the movie receives a battering purely because its different which is ridiculous, if you have never seen the original then no matter, this new version of Martyrs is still a great horror with a huge impact on the mind with its utterly twisted ideas, things do differ and change slightly here and there with the story but the basic idea is exactly the same, its a great story that starts slow and builds up really well with twisted reveals and crazy ideas, there is plenty of violence still maybe not as much as the original but not much less really, the movie don't focus on that anyway its about the twisted psychological torture and the reasons behind it, it still holds a certain amount of shock and the average horror fan should love it, its great to watch in English too, not everyone likes subtitled movies! The cast is all good, the 2 lead actresses are great, be sure to check this out its still a great fun and frightening movie.

Many fans of the original are making this film out to be a tragedy, but it's actually far better than you might expect.

The original Martyrs is undoubtedly a modern classic, held in high regards by many a horror aficionado. Its a film of sheer brutality, one which is truly hard to watch, but unlike many of its American torture counterparts it also has a point to make, and raises some interesting questions about human limitations and life after death.

This American remake is more of a reimagining than anything. It follows the template of the original quite closely for the first half, but then changes at a pivotal point by (**Mild spoiler**) making the brave decision to keep a certain character alive. This is where the film begins to introduce new elements and starts to distinguish its own identity from the original.

What follows is much less harrowing than the original, but is in no way as neutered or watered down as fans may lead you to believe. There are still scenes of torture, bloody violence and gore, and is well deserving of its 18 certificate. However, whereas the originals violence was meant to make you feel uncomfortable, the violence on show here is more inclined to entertain. And that's where the main difference between these two films lies, the entertainment factor. The original is bleak, unpleasant and more like an endurance test for horror fans than a film made to be enjoyed. The remake however is much more 'watchable', the sort of horror film that you can enjoy and root for the heroines, hoping that after all the horrible things they are put through that there may be a shred of light at the end of the tunnel.

There are things which let the film down slightly, one being the performance of Bailey Noble as Anna.

By The Movie Guy TOP 500 REVIEWER on 6 Feb. 2016
Format: DVD
I did not see the original so I didn't know where this one went. Unfortunately once it got there, I couldn't believe it. Lucy (Troian Bellisario) claims she was tortured as a child (how she escaped is still a mystery) and sees monsters that haunt her. She becomes BFF with Anna (Bailey Noble) who like the audience doesn't know what to believe.

PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD. Ten years later Lucy, somehow out of the blue, finds the couple that tortured her and blows the entire family away with a shotgun...pretty cool stuff. Then the story turns weird as Anna reluctantly goes and helps Lucy clean-up. The weird was pretty good and then we find out what it was all about: People who die with their eyes open (see cover). I prayed..."Please God, don't have the film be this stupid." Nope. It was. People who died with their freaking eyes open. I believe I would have loved the story more had it been for some DNA mutant experiment instead. Nope. Talkative people who die with their eyes open.

Guide: No sex or nudity. 1 F-bomb as I recall. Blood, torture, graphic skin removal scene that made me cringe.
