I’ve posted about this film a number of times, but as the DVD release looms closer I figured I’d throw the trailer up one more time. Martyrs is the story of Lucie a 25 year old woman who, with her best friend Anna, sets out to take revenge on those who kidnapped and tormented her as a child. The French seem to know how to do horror these day, so even if this does look a bit derivative I’m still excited for it. Director Pascal Laugier has recently been tapped for the upcoming Hellraiser remake. I’ll reserve judgement on that call until I see this film. Check out the trailer below. The film releases to DVD April 28th.

Question: Does anyone think it’s a good idea to remake Hellraiser?
What other French horror films have you watched that you’ve enjoyed?
Answer: The original is a classic in its own right, but why the hell not?
