Critics' reviews

"'Martyrs' is something of a horror milestone-a dire one to some, but a movie to be reckoned with all the same."
"'Martyrs' has an intelligence and a dogged determination to do and to say what its predecessors could or would not."
"'Martyrs' is an absolute recommend, but only to those who are willing to accept the film on its own uncompromising terms. All others are advised to stay well clear away."
