We agree with you ...Totally understandable, Daniel. We agree with you on Haute Tension though.<br /><br />Not sure what to make of the remake. I can't imagine that a U.S. remake will come close to being as powerful or brutal as the original. Like if Haute Tension got a U.S. remake, it wouldn'tbe the same. <br /><br />I imagine we'll be hearing more bout it in in early 2016, as it's supposed to come out in Feb/March.

I just don't care for disgusting "torture porn" that tries to be "disturbing" or really any of the French Extremity Wave excluding Haute Tension which is a personal favorite.<br /><br />But I'm curious of your opinion of how, in what seems out of nowhere, they just screened the Blumhouse produced remake of Martyrs starring Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars star and daughter of the awesome Donald P. Bellisario) at not only Screamfest last month but Cannes way back in May.<br /><br />But I've literally heard nothing about this when the american remake of Martyrs, love it or hate it, should be pretty big news. <br /><br />Any thoughts on the remake or how no one seems to be talking about it?<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02429419212292460470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877385849157369308.post-37712047316231498552013-03-24T13:49:11.664-04:002013-03-24T13:49:11.664-04:00She whispered "We are all our own Heaven and ...

Let me explain: The twist in the middle is lame (after she kills the family). Very stupid and lame pseudophilosophical garbage... it was a flimsy turn that only gave the excuse for the following torture porn. I find the fact that people thought it was "deep" or "thought provoking" and not torture porn and misogynistic very disturbing for the future of the human race. Also, the protagonist didn't even fight back, she gave in? The hell? I wanted to shoot everyone in this piece of trash including her. The only thing it has going is good artists. I am not bothered by torture porn, but please, it is what it is, putting idiotic pseudo religious crap or philosophy into it doesn't change that... the only idea that makes me ill is that people found it profound. That doesn't make the movie scare me, it makes me more scared of people. Especially the people who made/agreed to be in this. Not surprised one of the crew members killed themselves while making it.<br /><br />I wanted to scrub my brain clean after watching this. At least the director admitted he was depressed and basically regrets making the movie. Would not recommend this to anyone.
