Martyrs

MARTYRS (2008) - Sept. 13, 2008
Though this starts out as a fairly typical French horror film, it eventually becomes something... different. About a couple of girls who seek revenge against the people who kidnapped and tortured one of them, eventually finding out that what happened to her was far more sinister than they could have ever realized. It's definitely well made, and the first hour or so was quite entertaining. The last half hour or so gets a little bit repetitive, with probably a few more scenes than necessary of the girl getting repeatedly beaten, but it definitely leads to a pretty interesting payoff. ***
