Unbreakable

As I’ve mentioned before Pascal Laugier’s ultra-nasty French horror picture Martyrs was the buzz film of the Cannes market, earning that crown by sharply dividing audiences with its incredible levels of ultra realistic and very, very punishing violence. The film has since been slapped with an 18+ rating in France - a very restrictive rating that pretty much dooms it financially if the rating stands after the inevitable appeal - and now the first chance to get a peek at what the talk is about has arrived in the form of an English subtitled trailer. Be aware that this is rather uncomfortable viewing. You’ll find it below the break.

Wow Todd - that was well worth the wait! I love it - very nasty, well staged violence (the shotgun blasts inparticular). I think it possibly gives away too much information (the old addage you’re only paranoid because they’re out to get you) but still, it looks freaky great. Reminds me a lot of Haute Tension. Going to be looking forward to this…

It’s also very spoiler-ish, so be careful in that regard.

Yeah, that was what I was trying to say - spoilerific (or at least, seems to be). Have you seen the movie, Todd? Just nod if it is as good as the trailer suggests…
