Connor O. It’s hard to put into words how brutal this movie is. Definitely will not be for the faint of heart, but if you are looking for a very dark, no hope, brutal movie that shows some of the worst humanity has to offer this may be the best horror of all time. Semi spoilers: first half is a brutal revenge story with a semi supernatural element and once it reaches its conclusion and you hit pause, you are like “how the F is this halfway over?!?”. Second half is arguably more brutal and filled deep despair. This movie is one that will stick with you for possibly life and always be your top suggestion if someone suggests the darkest movie that symbolizes no hope perfectly. Best French movie I’ve ever seen. Truly disturbing, but hard to look away. Easily 10/10 for any horror fan who is down for whatever, especially dark. Definitely watch the French version over the American even if you don’t like subtitle movies. The actors are so much better and can feel their pain Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Craig H Dark, bleak, grim, shocking at times and pretty sad but definitely not as brutal and as shocking as ive read alot of people say. The gore was barely there, it was more the human suffering and the aftermath and consequence of it that was the shocking stuff. The whole last 20 minutes just didnt hit for me though, the whole after life, secret society stuff, meh. It tried to be deep with the reason these people where tortured but I found it abit farfetched. Outside of that a well made, well acted, gruelling, depressing film that was very similar to Hostel Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/28/25 Full Review John W I wasn't sure if I should watch it, but I'm glad I did because the film is surprisingly good. There's also a lot of plot and not just senseless violence. The first half of the film was surprisingly scary with a lot of blood in the style of the Evil Dead remake. The second half became more of a torture film in the style of Hostel, but even that happens for a reason which I thought was really good thematically. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Russell W Martyrs is a one of a kind experience. Is it horror, or a philosophical study of humanity’s search for transcendence through pain? Maybe both. The “villains” aren’t cartoonish or out to kill because they’re crazy. They’re seekers, chasing answers that only suffering can reveal. This movie takes you down one road, then crashes into you and flips you onto a completely different road. Gruesome, yes. But beneath the brutality, there’s purpose. It’s not gore for shock sake. It’s meaning carved from agony. A bloody Nietzsche, maybe. Yes.

Watch Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Shaun R You won’t forget this film once you watch it. One of my favourite films, and goes against everything Hollywood stands for. This isn’t for everyone however. The average person will not get to the end.
