Martyrs is such a good film. After seeing it I couldn't stop talking about it for months. Just such a crazy film with twists I never expected. It is easily in my top 5 films of all time and depending on the day in my top 3. I imported the UK Region B release when it was first released and then sold it off when the Canadian release came out (which I currently own). I HIGHLY recommend this film for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Martyrs is a unique movie but in the end it's an exploitation film. The second half is quite boring if you ask me and gets frustrating after a point

[Show spoiler]when the girl gets beaten over and over

. It's kinda difficult to watch witch makes me wonder how can this movie be in anyone's top 3 or 5 favorite movies ever... still ''Irreversible'' is one of my favorite movie ever so I guess I can't make any judgment!

Starting in about 2004 I began a quest to find and watch the craziest most intense films I could find. My criteria has been pretty simple, I want to feel "something". Typically that something meant I would feel bad afterwards, but as long as the film was interesting and left me wanting more, then I considered it a success. (It's also worth noting that I was around 21/22 at the time and while having grown up with the classic horror films of The Exorcist, Freddy, Jason, etc, Exploitation and trully disturbing cinema really hadn't entered my movie watching forte) My initial foray into this new line of thinking started with Natural Born killers and A Clockwork Orange which then lead into I spit on Your Grave (Original), this then lead to Martyrs, Old Boy, Irreversible, A Serbian Film, Salo, or 120 Days in Sodom, Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door, Anti-Christ, etc. Martyrs stood out to me because of it's Religious overtones and the reason behind the suffering. The Ending left me in a daze and I couldn't stop talking/thinking about the film for weeks after. The movie was a blind buy and I went into it knowing nothing besides seeing a screen cap of

[Show spoiler]the girl completely skinned

. I quite literally knew nothing of the film. When I had first heard of it and began to research it I kept coming across reviews which stated to stop reading if you hadn't seen it yet. This was repeated ad nausea so many times that I followed those instructions. I didn't know how long the movie was, what it was about outside of the basic premise that a girl who had been kidnapped breaks free and then seeks out the people who kidnapped her to find out why. It's that lasting impression the put the film in my top films. Interestingly enough, I never really felt too strongly about Irreversible. It may have been because of the other films I'd already seen prior to finally seeing it, and the inevitable desensitizing which occurred, but to me Irreversible is truly a one trick pony. Take out the Rape sequence, and the film is utterly forgettable to me, however take out any key scene you desire in Martyrs, and there are still several other that move the film along. Either way, I currently own Irreversible on DVD and will pick it up again without question if/when it ever hits Blu Ray.

With all of that said, surprisingly enough the film that disturbed me the most was/is Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door. A Serbian Film left me literally depressed for about 2 weeks about watching it, but that feeling hasn't returned with subsequent viewings, where as The Girl next door left me feeling so depressed/down that I've had a hard time revisiting that film again even though I've purchased it on both DVD and Blu Ray. I think for me it's that in most films you can trace back to a moment where the character could have done something different, or made a poor choice, or whatever. (In irreversible it would have been deciding to leave the party alone and travel in an underground tunnel at night) But in the Girl Next Door the Girl is completely at the Mercy of others and really has no choice but to stay, and it's that helplessness that affects me. However that film, like Irreversible just didn't resonate as a "great film" to me... it was certainly memorable, and left me feeling something, but it wasn't the same "Oh Wow!" feeling I had with Martyrs.. (Or Old Boy or American Psycho :P )
