It's time to jump into some French Horror of the Extreme variety and compare it to its United States Remake. The Court is in session for Martyrs (2008) v. Martyrs (2015). Though the movie was filmed in Canada the first film is considered a French film that has taken the film industry by storm when it released for being shocking and hard to watch. About a girl named Lucie who escapes her torturing kidnappers and exacts her revenge on the those who tormented her as a child with a friend that is willing to got to hell for her. It's a rough film for some, but we actually break it all down and Alex gets deep into the metaphors that the film might have within its depravity. Then we take on the US remake/re imagining that was one of the earlier films of Blumhouse and subsequently one of Jason Blum’s biggest regrets on film. See what we thought of both and why. In this glorious showdown! JOIN US!
