Our buddy Chuck over at Zombies Don't Run asked me to participate in his blogger-tastic poll of Top 10 Most Disturbing Films of All-Time.Check out our entry for #5: Martyrs (2008)
A young woman who escaped the confines of an abandoned wherehouse years ago, tracks down her captors and violently exacts revenge. Along with her best friend who assists her in covering up her tracks, both are completely unaware of the secret that lies in the house of her former captors. Altogether violent and shocking, with a come out of nowhere 180 shift in both tone and plot direction, Martyrs is one of the most shocking horror films that I've seen in years. It will stay with you days after watching it.
You can view and comment on the entire list here: http://zombiesdontrun.blogspot.com/2009/12/top-10-most-disturbing-movies-of-all.html
Also check out Chuck's blog. Its a winner.

Great choice! May have to come up with my own list.
When I saw the article on Horror Blips, I knew Martyrs was going to be on there before I even read the list. Excellent choice. It certainly was with me for days...
Thanks Reverend and Becky! I once mentioned the premise of the film when talking to friends about religion, as I think the film brings up interesting ideas. Still gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about the scene where the girl is tied up and skinned. Ick!
