For those that enjoy the horror genre, Hollywood has given little other than disappointing, predictable films. French cinema in recent years has far exceeded Hollywood in this genre and Martyrs is the most recent example of this. The film is likely to be difficult to watch even for horror fans because Martyrs isn't simply a cut and slash horror film.
