Watch original version instead. I love original Martyrs and this one is just cheap, crap version of it. Another prove that muricans should not touch European movies.Why?Everything is wrong, from poor acting to changing main plot of the movie. So called movie miss brutality of original version and can only be viewed as typical 'saturday tit grab movie' for poor muricans.Simple waste of time nothing else. Maybe now murican movie makewrs can learn how NOT to fukk up things? One may hope...Want a good movie? Watch original Pascal Laugier's one from 2008.

Not as divine as they wished it was but it keeps you guessing.The synopsis is about an abused child who ends up in an orphanage and ends up finding her abusers as a young adult to find out why they did that to her. It's a potential torture porno horror movie that turns into a desperate attempt to find the answer man has been looking for since the beginning. Martyrs is filled with horror thrills and torture. It's layered up quite nicely so when you get tired of one layer a new layer pops up to keep you interested.Not bad

Even though I watched the original Martyrs various years ago, it's a film which is impossible to forget. That's why I knew beforehand that its North American remake would never reach the same levels of violence, intensity and anguish reached by the French version... something I would have tolerated if co-directors Kevin and Michael Goetz had respected the spirit of that brilliant film and its overwhelming atmosphere of cruelty and hopelessness. Unfortunately, that was the first thing which got lost in this "light" version, which could basically be considered "PG-13" if it wasn't for some moderately bloody scenes, which could have been eliminated without any problem, because they don't fix all the things which were decomposed in this diluted interpretation. And that's where my comparison between both versions ends because, to be fair, Martyrs (2008) didn't receive too much diffusion, and I estimate that Martyrs (2015) will be a novelty for many spectators, so I will do my best to evaluate it on its own merits. I found it a bad film, but I will at least grant it that courtesy. To start with, I found the screenplay of Martyrs (2015) poorly written, specially during the second half, when something happens which brusquely alters the premise and introduces absurd concepts, until getting to an insipid conclusion. Among the very few positive things I can say about this remake, I can mention the decent performances from Troian Bellisario and Bailey Noble. Despite them, I found Martyrs (2015) an absolute waste of time. Even taking it as an individual horror film, it's an absolute failure. Anyway... I hope the next step isn't some remake of À l'intérieur suitable for the family schedule of Lifetime.

I really loved the original movie, and expected a soft American version with this remake. But it's not, it's very well executed. I do have to say it has been at least 5 years ago since i seen the original, and i do recommend not watching them after one other in a short amount of time. Luci of course reminded me all the time of her character in pretty little liars, but that didn't really bug me, in fact it suited her well because both characters are full of conspiracy theories. The movies kept my interest and surprised me with some twists. Over all the acting was done very well, it has been at least as painful to watch as the original.(in a good way) It deserves a way better rating then it has now!!
