I watched Martyrs this weekend. The first half or so was great. Very disturbing and powerful. Unsettling even. Then... Well... The movie fell apart for me. The mystical, psuedo-religious crap really killed the movie for me. It's like they had two different writers. One serious, the other campy. I realize they went with the plotline they did in order to try to elevate the movie from simple torture-porn, but it was done in such a schlocky, gimmicky way. To me at least, it was a valiant effort that started very strong, but just fell short at the end.
