Martyrs

Watched 04 Oct 2025

Hooptober 12: 13/31
3 cult or conspiracy horror films (2/3)

The first time I watched this was years ago at [redacted tv writer]’s house, which HE suggested and I said okay to because I didn’t know shit about fuck. Dear reader, can you believe we had to turn it off because it made the vibes weird?

So round 2 with this movie and I gotta say, it’s not greaaaat! I really am game for any type of fucked up movie but this one is kinda showing it’s age in that the first half was sort of compelling, of course gruesome, but as soon as we hit the second act, it turns into some globular being oozed out of rotten.com and seasoned in some fourth tier Gaia online thread about what the afterlife is like.
It’s just too stupid and needlessly cruel to take seriously, but oh boy does this movie want you to take it seriously!
Honestly, I was more invested in the last 5 minutes than anything. And the intro is kinda, sorry, banger, it just is! The special effects are great, too.
