If you always had a hunch that "Bad Taste" was a tad too intellectual and over-produced then treat yourself to this turd. It is easier to enumerate the aspects of this creation that don't suck: editing, camera work, and lighting. Actually, considering the shoestring Budget this piece of manure must have been created on the former three departments did a rather good job! The gore is at times quite nice, too. I liked the toddler and the cat scene. Writing, casting, acting, score and most of all directing are so poor it makes a 1980's porno firm (those that actually included a plot) turn purple in shame. Stay away from this turd at all cost. This 'movie' is too bad to even serve as a bad example.

Howdy, it's me, you old pal Pinhead. You know I like a good torture as much as the next guy (greetings to Jigsaw!) but this picture really knocked me off my feet. I suppose that folks that thought the Saw series, or Coffin Joe or Borderland or my own appearances in Hellraiser was for pussies will enjoy this piece a lot. All others should think twice before watching Martyrs. You are not going to forget it anytime soon. Apart from the movie's subject matter, there is a lot more to say about the movie. It is well directed, well lit and photographed, set set design is good, as is the acting. It has a lot of twists and turns and surprises. Really. The Region B BluRay disc presentation is great. Hang in there, girls! I for one am signing off now, I gotta continue puking in the recycle bin. Rot in peace, Pinhead

I only recently acquired this on DVD from South America. Initially, bought it only out of curiosity. Now, I think it has taught me some truths. The content is historical/documentary and beyond any conventional rating. The music tracks in the film do have very good audio, though. Now to Dan Sims' question. I share the same view: IMHO, if someone points a gun at me, especially a high as a kite hippie, I'd deal with it in a way I see appropriate to the given situation. Square fact is, that 81 was hired to protect the bands and the audience. One could make a point that the Stones and a bunch of tree huggers owe their lives to the Big Red Machine, obviously the only men sober and sane enough to realize the danger and having the balls to deal with it. Given the chaotic circumstances, I find nothing wrong with the events in 1969. To my knowledge, so did a court of justice. Well, except parking your bike in front of the stage and getting all upset about it when someone stumbles over it. That is so silly. Cheers.
