Martyrs was pretty great
This was actually a pretty good flick.
Watch it with my gf at the time, she loved it.
It's shit. It's also not a movement and the title is stupid. Horror is shit in 99% of cases. Relying on shock value is shit. And it combines the worst aspects of horror shock value with the worst aspects of modern French cinema, it's vulgar and stupid yet pretentious and boring.

Original is better than remake
Inside 2007 is amazing

Inside was terrible. Every character in that flick acted like a complete retard.

I love how they just forgot the plot half way into the film and just filmed torture porn scene after torture porn scene.
It just proved that people will say anything is great if it's French. Martyrs is nothing but Roth-tier torture porn.

It was watchable and kept pace, but never delivered anything.
What was oddest of all was the final scene. After the entire film being horrific unflinching torture, they shied away at the last moment.
High Tension is the best horror film of the 2000s.

It's still 10x better then all the other French Extremity flicks. I've seen them all and they can get pretty fucking bad.
