Seriously, y'all!
I'm still thinking about it this morning. I might need to purchase this one.

I don't think Martyrs has been mentioned i haven't seen it but read about it online sounds very very Dark

copy and paste job review below

A young girl, Lucie, is discovered near catatonic wandering by the side of a country road after being missing for over a year. It transpires she had been imprisoned in a disused slaughterhouse and consistently tortured, yet not sexually abused. She is placed in an orphanage where she is befriended by Anna. Anna discovers that Lucie is being harmed by a "creature".

Fifteen years later, Lucie bursts into a seemingly normal family's home and kills them all, claiming the parents were responsible for her childhood trauma. She is periodically attacked by the "creature" - actually a manifestation of her guilt over not saving another girl all those years ago.

Lucie calls Anna, who comes to the house to help her bury the bodies. Anna discovers the mother is still living and tries to help her escape, but is discovered by Lucie who kills the woman. Having realised her vengeance, the "creature" drives Lucie to kill herself. As Anna is clearing up the house, she discovers a secret underground chamber, imprisoned in which is a horribly mutilated woman. Anna attempts to care for her, but strangers arrive at the house and shoot the woman dead.

Captured by the newcomers, Anna meets their leader, an elderly lady named Mademoiselle. She explains that she belongs to a secret society seeking to discover the secrets of the afterlife through the creation of "martyrs". Systematic acts of torture are inflicted upon young women in the the belief that the extreme pain will result in a transcendental insight into the world beyond this one. So far they have been unsuccessful.

Anna is imprisoned in the chamber and becomes their latest subject. After an unspecified period, during which she is repeatedly beaten and tortured, she is told she has reached the "final stage". Anna is skinned, but survives to achieve transcendence. Mademoiselle arrives to bear witness to her description of the afterlife.

A group of wealthy people visit the house to celebrate the successful martyrdom. Instead of passing on Anna's words to the assembly, Mademoiselle shoots herself. An intertitle informs us that "martyr" is the Greek word for "witness".

^^^^^
I should have Martyrs by the weekend!!!
It was on someone's list here.

This thread is the shit!

LOL yah must say it looked pretty cool but still eeeeek...

I prefer this version though compared to the one they used in the film...

PanthaGirl said:

what other version? I thought this was the only spider walk (that was not used in the film)... until they wanted some extra $$$ and threw together the redux version.

Have you seen Evil Dead 2?

ufoclub said:

Nope the newer version of the spider walk was used and they discarded the original in the redux. The other version that was used is scary but not very convincing. Basically she does the spider walk and then stays in that acrobatic stance at the foot of the stairs and growls whilst blood spills out of her mouth (for no apparent reason). In the redux version it isn't Linda Blair in the close up during the spider walk it's a different actress.

I own both of them...didnt like Army Of Darkness though. Evil Dead used to scare me when I was little. Weird ass flick.

johnart said:

I saw Cannibal Holocaust in the movies when I was a kid in P.R.
I remember thinking it was real when I saw it.

I rewatched it last year and was mostly bothered by the animal killing/cruelty stuff.

We watched IRREVERSIBLE tonight.

That fire extinguisher scene had me screamin at the tv. Jesus!

johnart said:

HOW F'ING REAL DID THAT LOOK!!!!!

And here's an extra tidbit. After that horrible rape scene in the underpass you notice that the rapist has a hard on. IT'S F'ING C.G.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I know! I watched the extras. Which of course meant I had to watch the whole fuckin fire extinguisher thing AGAIN. I didn't find it any less disturbing because it was being explained.

Thank god there was Vince Cassell dick to comfort me later in the movie.

Oh, and I want a scene with that rapist where it's not rape. He was hot too.

johnart said:

Agree on all that you said.

Hey, I went out and bought INSIDE the other day. I only had time to watch like 25 minutes of it. There's a part where you don't know that the woman is behind the pregnant woman until the camera backs up, IS SOOOOO SCARY TO ME. Then she backs up into the darkness. NOW THAT'S CREEPY.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

Yesssss! I know exactly the part.
I was sittin there goin "uh-UH!"

johnart said:

I have Irreversible on DVD, but I don't think I've ever seen the extras. After watching the main feature, I'm usually too weirded out to prolong the experience any further.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

From an interview with the director:
the rapist (Jo Prestia), he's an international kickboxing champion, very well known.

sextonseven said:

I'm compelled to.

sextonseven said:

In this movie I HAD to watch the extras just to be absolutely sure everyone was really alright.

johnart said:

See, now I'm going to have to revisit this movie and its extras.

MIGUELGOMEZ said:

I don't know if he was in the extras. Don't remember there being that many features. That interview was online on some indie film site.

These are on his myspace. Enjoy.
