The Raw, Brutal Power Of Martyrs. Content Warning.
Horror takes many forms. There’s creature feature horror. There’s psychological horror. There’s body horror. With a genre of story telling where there are little to no rules, anything can be done. Anything can be said. And anyone can push the limits of what is too much just to the very edge. The French film Martyrs from 2008 depicts in its own way all of these subgenres but in a way that puts it in a genre all its own, and comes just close to going too far. Although some see it as going well past our perceived limits of disturbing content.

The Witch (Circa 1966)
When I was a kid, one of the joys of my young life was coming home from school on a Friday night, knowing that if I had good marks in all my classes, I could stay up late and watch my two favorite shows. My first favorite was, hands down, Start Trek, but after it went off, there was a local show that I loved to watch, called "Shock Theater". You could find the title of the movie they were showing that night in the tv guide, so I had my nose in that magazine on Monday mornings, planning my weekend ahead.
