Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
The filmmakers ... place only the tiniest fig leaf of a story on a panoramic canvas of the gory, gross and repellent.
Shatteringly stupid and repulsively misogynistic, "Martyrs" mashes revenge, torture and the supernatural into one solid, quasi-religious lump.
Unfortunately, in goosing the momentum, the creators of the film have lost the soul of what was essential to this horrific tale.
Another slash-and-dice programmer with no redeeming factors whatsoever.
