So, I watched “Martyrs” tonight. Don’t. Watch. It. EVER. It looked like it was going to be an “I Spit on Your Grave” type flick with “Hostel”-style torture-porn genre updates. It was not. It was one of — if not *the* — most disturbing films I’ve ever seen. It is perfectly internally consistent. There are no MacGuffins, or really, any thing easy in this flick. It is brilliantly heartless. It is the sort of movie that has 15 unending minutes of slow, patient, unexaggerated and perfectly realistic violence that never once stops serving the narrative. It is perfectly internally consistent. It all makes perfect sense. It is made worse in that the last 20 seconds are perfectly, horribly and ecstatically beautiful. Don’t. Watch. It. EVER. http://ift.tt/1KsbEJX
