Martyrs is up there
Yikes, came here to see if anyone would mention martyrs.
Scarring. Truly, concretely horrifying. Watched it once, and nearly every scene is still burned into my mind.
What year? I just looked it up and there are several Martyr titled flicks
2008, starring morjana aloui.
I thought about rewatching it several times, but I can still remember it very clearly and in sequence.
One day. Maybe.
Thanks!
You got it. Brace yourself.
I watched it for the first time last month and sincerely regret it. Not the "scariest" movie I've seen, but probably the most fucked up I've seen
Yyyyup, i watched it over a decade ago and feel the exact same way.
True horror.
I remember that viewing more clearly than movies I watched yesterday.
Fuck. That. Shit.
That movie was rough to watch. Well done though and good ending.
Martyrs along with Funny Games, Requiem for a Dream occupy this niche place in my brain. I intend to never watch them again, but think of them regularly. Like someone else mentioned, scenes remain clear in my head many years later in a way that isn't true for most movies
The Skin I Live In, Benny's Video are in that space with those movies as well.
I'm glad I saw them, but I will never ever watch them ever again.
I've been waiting to be in the right frame of mind for The Skin I Live In
Never heard of Benny's Video. But I see it's by Hanneke so I'll add it to my list of films that I'm waiting to be in the right frame of mind for
