Product Description

Product Description

Lucie, a little 10-year old girl, disappears and is discovered a few months later wandering along the side of a road. The reason for her abduction remains a mystery. Traumatized and mute, she is put in a hospital where she is befriended by Anna, a girl of her own age. 15 years later and somebody rings the doorbell of an ordinary family home. A man opens the door to find Lucie standing there with a shotgun. Convinced she has found her tormentor, she pulls the trigger.

Martyrs is a stylish revenge thriller that has been wowing audiences at festivals across the world. Already being touted for a remake, writer/director Pascal Laugier has also recently signed on to direct a remake of Hellraiser whilst one of the two beautiful female stars of the film: Mylène Jampanoï, is currently filming the new Serge Gainsbourg biopic in which she stars as Bambou.

5.0 out of 5 starsBrilliant and deeply disturbing film.
By Puzzle box on 15 May 2014
Format: DVD
First of all, Martyrs is the type of film that's guaranteed to shock it's viewer so it's not really recommended for those who have a weak stomach or is faint of heart. Pascal Laugier has created a deeply disturbing and powerful assault on the senses, his direction was quite good with some beautiful cinematography and lighting, and the performances from both Morjana Alaoui and Mylène Jampanoï were both outstanding. The film begins by showing a young girl, bloodied and gaunt, running from some unspecified evil she's just escaped from. Shortly afterward, we flash forward to the girl as a young lady--Lucie (Mylène Jampanoï, in an astonishing, heartbreaking performance), still too traumatized fifteen years later to sleep alone.

So she sleeps in the same room with her lifelong friend Anna (Morjana Alaoui, also delivered a terrific, haunting performance), who loves Lucie and is doing her best to empathize with her. But Lucie has a demon. A real one. One that chases her around and cuts her with knives and is generally evil and mean to her. Anna never sees the demon, but she goes along with Lucie when Lucie devises a plan to do what it takes to put it to rest. She must return to the heart of darkness and kill her childhood tormentors.

Lucie then goes out and massacres an entire family with a shot gun. At first, you believe she's bonkers, but we soon realize that the parents killed weren't whom they appear..far, far worse. But, Lucie hallucinates, believing that a mistreated victim she didn't rescue as a child after escaping from the place where she was tortured is always coming for her. Anna who witnesses the aftermath of the slaughter, attempts to clean up the mess, while mortified at such a grisly crime scene..Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsAn ordeal
By Mr. Jp Scott-howes on 24 Jan. 2010
Format: DVD
I thought that I was a fairly seasoned gore hound, I was under the impression that I couldn't be shocked, I was wrong!

From the opening sequence of a bloody and battered young girl squealing and screaming, limping as fast as her brutalised body could manage, to get away from as yet undisclosed terrors, to the closing sequence which I had to have explained for me by my sister's fiance, as my hand was firmly up in front of my face, because frankly I couldn't watch any more, Martyrs is a thoroughly engaging and compelling examination of human suffering.

What it isn't however is enjoyable. This film was far too brutal, gritty and nasty for me. A Saturday night ought never to involve watching a young girl tied to a chair in a dirty warehouse being slapped around her already bloody and bruised face.

By an hour or so in, though I felt violated by this film, I still felt that I could deal with it, then the movie shifts gears and from the last half hour goes down a hithero (to me anyway) unexpected path and that was when I started to really struggle. The last third of Martyrs is one of the most terrible, horrible, awful, vile things that I've ever put myself through, yet it is substantially less gory than the hour which preceeds it, there is no way of me explaining how this is possible with spoiling things for you, so you shall have to take my word for it.

Though this wasn't for me I have given it four stars because in many ways it is a brilliant film. It is incredibly original and sumptuously filmed and edited with a rawness that lends an extra veneer of grit to a movie which is already rotten with cutting edge ideas and envelope pushing concepts.

I would thoroughly recommend this to people who enjoy utter darkness, rawness and brutality in their movies. I shall return to collecting Troma films, safe on the knowledge that there are limits to what I consider to be entertainment

3.0 out of 5 starsA different view...
By Joseph on 13 Aug. 2009
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
having just finished watching this movie, I felt the need to address a bit the balance of opinions about it here on Amazon. the consensus seem to be total approval of this new masterpiece of the french horror/exploitation subgenre. It really is a movie that deserves many accolades, but still, imho, it is not devoid of weak spots. Since much of the fun with this movie comes with the unfolding of the plot, I will very sketchily say that it starts by showing a young girl subject to prolonged violence/deprivation, followed by her fortuitous escape and eventual (appropriate ?) revenge on some of her torturers. After this, we are slowly let into the world, people and reasons behind her imprisonment and torture.Therefore, the story can really be broken down in two rather distinct halves: the first delivering spades of gut wrenching violence, very realistically portrayed and showcasing great performances by the two lead actresses. the second half slows down quite a bit, and the violence fades into the background while we are left with the (..slow..) glimpse into the enigma behind the whole violence/exploitation. The finale is long drawn, but very original and thought provoking. I think perhaps the weakest spot of the movie is the hyatus between the first part and the finale. As for the blue ray I can say that both image and sound are up to standard, making it perhaps worth spending the few extra quid over the basic dvd version.
Overall, a worthy addition to any horror collection; masterpiece ? perhaps not.
