Martyrs (2008)
Oh my. What a movie. After the last movie I watched this movie is basically everything at the other end of the spectrum. Very dark, very violent, very action filled. Sure it takes some pages from other massively popular horror franchises but it executes them brilliantly. This movie is a level of brutality that The Human Centipede could have only dreamed of. There were entire 5 minute scenes of a girl just getting the everloving hell beat out of her. Very very very dark stuff. Towards the end of the movie they even went as far as to remove all of her skin and leave her chained there. I wasn't even aware that the French were capable of this level of dark, brutal horror movie. Especially in this day and age. The movie even goes as far as to trick you into believing that it's going to end a revenge flick. That's until the insane-o squad busts into the house and locks the remaining girl that hadn't yet died into the room that she had discovered earlier in the movie. I suppose this movie is for you freaks out there that could stomach something like A Serbian Film. I say freaks in the nicest way possible since admittedly, I am one.
