Profile of Martyrs

The mood of Martyrs is suspenseful, disturbing, and rough. The plot centers around a missing person, kidnapping, and a woman in danger. It is a foreign and drama movie. Stylistically, Martyrs is gory. In approach, it is serious and realistic. It happens in contemporary times.

Summary of Martyrs

French cinema continues its reign as the brutal roi of international horror with this startling import. Martyrs begins in the 1970s, with a young kidnapping victim named Lucie running through the streets, barely clothed and covered in cuts. At the hospital, she bonds with fellow patient--and abuse victim--Anna, and they forge a bond that lasts for years. More than a decade later, the violence in their lives continues, but this time they may not be the victims.
