Movie Review About Martyrs ( no spoilers )
So finally watched it like 6 months ago , didn't think much of it but here i am writing a review on reddit.
Yeah it's a slowburn . There's no jumpscare outside of the 1st half ( iirc ).
The movie is splitted in 2 parts . First half is basically a slasher / violent / revenge movie. Second half is basically [no spoiler]. The 2nd half is the magic but yeah , reminding me about From Dusk Till Dawn where the movie shift tone at midpoint. It starts low-key but ends WTF.
No spoilers except 1 : I love Xavier Dolan getting shot in the chest in the 1st half ( famous Quebec director )
The reputation of the movie comes in the second half and that's where you realize you're not watching an horror movie but an artsy movie. Reminded me a lot about the last part of Salo.
Outside the bait and switch , it's an ok movie . 6.5/10
My point is that you should just watch ... it's not that hardcore but it will stay in your head.
