French horror films are not as pure as American horror films. They like to add things to them, so they don’t invest so much in the horror atmosphere and visual impact, but this martyr has the editing rhythm of Hollywood horror films and the Japanese almost depressing and desperate. Visual abuse, coupled with the mystery brought by religious beliefs, confuses people between beliefs and morals. Although it is a B-grade film, it has a higher range than a B-grade film.
The abuse in this film is a rare kind of abuse. The way it shows is to dare to show what the audience doesn't want to see, from escape to imprisonment, from revenge to death. Moreover, the detailed pictures created by the director are extremely realistic, which is much more straightforward and realistic than the plasma special effects in Hollywood, which is not something that ordinary people can bear. Suffering to create spiritual nirvana is mentioned in various religious content, but the idea of ​​religious extremism in this film has nothing to do with belief. In the final analysis, it is just a group of people who are afraid of death want to predict in advance What will be faced after death, at the cost of torturing and abusing others. This film seems to present a story of extremist ideas from the perspective of a bystander, but it is strange that in the last part, it really uses this extremist idea as the end to reveal the nihility of this belief.

Martyrs quotes

  • Mademoiselle: Lucie was only a victim. Like all the others. It's so easy to create a victim, young lady, so easy. You lock someone in a dark room. They begin to suffer. You feed that suffering. Methodically, systematically and coldly. And make it last. Your subject goes through a number of states. After a while, their trauma; that small, easily opened crack, makes them see things that don't exist.

  • Mademoiselle: Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves... they are transfigured.
