Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs has been making waves, creating buzz and dividing audience since it’s very first market screening in Cannes.  In short order it has become by far the most talked about and debated horror film of the year with everybody who has seen it having strong opinions in one direction or the other.  But most have not yet had the chance to see it.  That is about to change however, with audiences here in North America getting their first crack when it premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival.  But before it arrives here in Toronto the film is screening as part of the Film Four Fightfest in London.  And with the film now out in public those of us here who have seen it can freely share our thoughts.  You want to know if it’s worth the hype?  We want to tell you.  We’ve got a number of Martyrs related interviews in progress right now, so expect those to be arriving on the site shortly, but in the meantime you can hit the links below for reviews and trailers.

    I saw MARTYRS last night at FrightFest.  It is indeed an uncomfortable watch, however it really is a film that you need to go into without knowing much.  The plot shifts gear a few times and and not knowing where it is going is half of it’s brilliance.

    Saw it on Fantasy Filmfest Berlin were it premiered. Good movie, uncomfortable to watch.

    A very powerful film, certain images are seared onto my retinas two days later. Didn’t play out quite how I expected. Would agree to try and avoid reading too much about this one before watching, if possible.
