I thought Martyrs was a hugely over-hyped nonevent ... Just what people say it isn't ... But it is just torture porn ... This however is a magical, visually stunning piece of cinema ... Just because it doesn't have an obvious linear narrative and make everything obvious for the slower among us it seems to have been ripped to pieces by the critics out there I have to admit one image nearly ruined it for me and I wish those contact lenses weren't there and she had worn a dress in that scene and played it down rather than iconically ... That would have made it an 8 out of ten rather than a 7.5 ... But I really loved it Hopefully the director will develop this side of his imagination rather than feeling the need to throw loads of boring bloody torture porn at us, like he was obviously forced into with Martyrs... Thats just the latest little gore movie for the youngsters to sit through and think they are big ... This film is for those that demand a bit more in a film
