Imeeh Wrote:I thought Martyrs was brilliant. I wouldn't say I enjoyed it first time round cos I was thinking, "Is this going anywhere or is it just an exercise in how much I can take?" but by the end, I was won over.I was afraid it was going to be like that for me before watching it. In all honesty that kind of lazy "push the envelope, true horror relying on suspense and alienation be damned" attitude is why I haven't bothered with the August Underground stuff and movies like it as of yet.
Martyrs was pleasantly surprising in how it handled its subject matter in an intense, yet somber manner.
âThe Fright Night remake is a film which taps into the audienceâs deepest rooted fears, such as those of vampires throwing motorcycles at them. I dread the thought of a vampire throwing a refrigerator or a deskjet printer or... Iâd better stop before I give myself nightmaresâ
