Martyrs (2016) is yet another pointless remake that is completely inferior to the original. Have you ever heard one of those trashy Kidz Bop covers of a pretty good song? This remake is like a Kidz Bop version of a heavy-metal song. The entire movie just put a foul stench in my mouth. It is neutered down to its core. There isn't anything disturbing, horrifying, or shocking like there was in the original. Hell, there isn't even a lot of blood in this one. It's hard to just simply describe how horrible it is, so I'll just use another analogy. Let's say the class genius is taking a test, right? So the big class goofball decides to sit down next to him and cheat off his test. He copies most of the test, but then there's the essay section. The smart kid is moving along with it, writing in his own unique way. The catch is that he writes really fast. So the dumbo has to quickly copy down everything he's writing. After they finish, the smart kid has a pretty good essay but it's not his best work. The noodlehead kid has an incomprehensible copy of the smart kid's essay, so much so that sentences are out of order, and the essay prompt isn't even answered. Even if you take the original out of the equation and call this remake an original movie, it's still garbage. One of the saddest attempts at a remake I have ever seen.

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
