Martyrs Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It should fare well with fans of hardcore gore looking for something subversive.
Horror Queers Podcast
Trace Thurman
One of the most powerfully affecting horror films you'll ever see. Just don't be surprised if you walk away feeling empty inside.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Martyrs is something of a horror milestone-a dire one to some, but a movie to be reckoned with all the same.
Slant Magazine
Simon Abrams
Martyrs has an intelligence and a dogged determination to do and to say what its predecessors could or would not.
Variety
Jordan Mintzer
Film should score OK with hardcore gore fans, but others will expect martyrdom for sticking it out until the end.
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
The kind of person who'd be inclined to seek the film out is probably not the kind of person who'd regret that decision.
Cinema Crazed
Felix Vasquez Jr.
It's a hollow film with hopelessly annoying themes that don't arouse questions so much as eye rolls.
ESplatter
Lucius Gore
'Martyrs' is initially shocking and strong, but eventually falls apart once we are informed about what the hell is going on.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...ultimately comes off as an unusually provocative horror effort that's sure to leave viewers thinking and talking about it long after the end credits have rolled.
La Movie Boeuf
David N. Butterworth
Brutally well-conceived... for about 40 minutes, and then "Martyrs" flips on its own bloody axis and falls apart, existentially.
What Would Toto Watch?
Christian Toto
Martyrs marks new ground in the horror genre - just don't take that as a sign it's worth your time.
Miss FlickChick
Maitland McDonagh
You don't have to be Catholic to shudder at Pascal Laugier's bitterly apocalyptic Martyrs, but it helps.
Dread Central
Tim Merrill
You will either despise what you've experienced or support Pascal Laugier in creating a masterpiece that transcends the genre and leaves the viewer drained and breathless.
Dread Central
Steve
Martyrs is an absolute recommend, but only to those who are willing to accept the film on its own uncompromising terms. All others are advised to stay well clear away.
Bloody Disgusting
Brad Miska
MARTYRS is this year's INSIDE, both films are legendary in their own right... The only negative thing about Laugier's film is that once you see it, you'll never be able to see it for the first time ever again...
Filmcritic.com
Keith Breese
ultimately a very off-putting one-trick pony
FEARnet
Scott Weinberg
French horror cinema that doesn't shy away from the rough stuff and aims to bring a few extra layers to the typically anemic slash-and-smash concept.
MovieMartyr.com
Jeremy Heilman
Perhaps more than any other horror film, Martyrs demonstrates the range of the genre's capabilities to find ways to excite, provoke, and disturb us.
Panorama
Jean-François Vandeuren
Martyrs se veut un film vicieux qui ose énormément. Parfois même trop, d'ailleurs.
The Screen
Akos Peterbencze
In the dedicated execution of its vision - prepared to go beyond every boundary that there is - Martyrs is an unlikely masterpiece of horror if one that's extremely difficult to praise sincerely.
