With help from a friend (Bailey Noble), a tormented woman (Troian Bellisario) tracks down the family that imprisoned and tortured her when she was a child.

Critics Consensus

Martyrs flays off everything that gave the original its icy horrific beauty, leaving us an empty, pointless remake.

1/5

It's deeply unappetising - insipid for much of its length, before soullessly revelling in the agony for its final stretch.

What's left after the gore is stripped away is a mildly bloody, meatless horror.

The icky messiness that gave Laugier's film its visceral impact has been watered down and sanitised here, while the genuinely transcendent ending of the original is banally reduced to a eulogy for friendship.

3.5/10

What Martyrs amounts to is a cheap mess, an attempt to adapt a work more focused on ideas into something designed to provide thrills and action, and the clash between the two modes is an ugly one.

3/5

Martyrs, surprisingly, isn't a complete misfire. It is bold enough to go in a different direction than the original, though it certainly doesn't best that film.

2/5

Not what you could call bad - just depressingly pointless - it follows similarly shrieky beats into unpleasant and underwhelming territory.

A watered down, butchered version of the original film. The acting too was atrocious.
