The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A young girl Lucie escapes from torture in the ’70s and is placed under psychiatric care in an orphanage. She refuses to speak about the horrors she experienced or the perpetrators, despite the best efforts of the staff. In time, a young girl Anna befriends her and dons the role of a supportive and caring figure. The two are inseparable and Anna is the only human Lucie appears to wholeheartedly trust.
15 years go by and Lucie walks into a happy family having Sunday breakfast and guns down the lot including a couple of teenagers. Anna rushes to the scene and is unconvinced by Lucie’s claims that the couple lying dead are the ones who tortured her as a child.
Though Lucie believes she killed her tormentors, she remains haunted by a fiendish creature that inflicts brutal wounds on her body. As it turns out, the fiend is Lucie’s personification of the guilt she feels for not having helped another prisoner in the torture chamber she escaped from, as a child.
Anna has been warned for years by her mother (with whom she barely has a connection), to stay away from Lucie and she soon finds a horrific reason why she might have been better off without Lucie.
Martyrs is a great psychological exploration of the horrors of childhood abuse, torture and trauma. The tenderness of Lucie and Anna’s relationship is also explored, particularly while toying with a relevant question – does empathy and kindness matter more than your own safety and well-being.
The scenes of violence towards Anna without the assistance of much gore, are also as brutal as they get. When she is punched, you feel it in your gut.
The cult of rich old folks sadistically willing to sacrifice young women in their quest to understand what lies close at hand for them, also leaves you disgusted, which is a credit to the narrative skills of director Pascal Laugier.
omg doomed yuri 💔
I’ve seen this film twice now. The first time I saw it I really disliked it. After just seeing it again today I have changed my stance dramatically on how I feel about this film. It’s a polarising film that divided critics. Even director Pascal Laugier, who wrote the screenplay when he was suicidal, said “It’s not a likable movie. Even me, myself, I hate the film.”
I think my first reaction to the film was mainly because of the overly violent scenes and it is a bit discombobulated at the start but on second viewing there is an odd beauty to the film. The musical soundtrack is fantastic and the final song that plays over the credits is hauntingly beautiful. 4 stars.
Nga ts movie pmo✌️
brilliant and beautiful movie, it’s truly not just torture porn like many pass it off to be. the themes of violence, misogyny, female sufferin and organized religion are amazing. Laugier said he didn’t want this to be just another extreme horror film and he lived up to that
People here commenting are so disgusting! 😡
doomed yuri
I cum many times watching this
THIS MOVIE MADE ME CUM MANY TIMES! 🙂
i really liked lucie cause i have cptsd and anxiety and her behaviours really felt relatable and sad to me 🙁 i have to admit the beating scenes turned me on. but damn that was pretty disturbing…
Not my prousest fap
BORING
Lame. Fell asleep.
A Serbian Film is much better movie!
Terrible movie. 1/10
Definitely NOT the most fucked up movie on this site. Way too overrated.
A serbian film (2010) or any of the movies of Marian Dora should have been #1.
Bastante perturbador não recomendo achei um pouco estranho a tortura porque tinham que bater tanto na garota se objetivo da experiência era ela morrer em êxtase e ter um vislumbre do além acho que o diretor queria chocar mais que outros filmes tipo salo esse foi o erro do filme e um torture porn safra frança exploração
Eu parei de assistir pra vir aqui escrever eu admito que não estou gostando dessa mistura de real com sobrenatural eu pensei que fosse sobre a tortura isso e real e existe no mundo todo em todos os tempos mas a assombração aparecendo acabou com a minha expectativa do filme ser realista vou continuar vendo depois escreve dizendo o que achei
this movie was js straight torture scenes n i feel like nothing else rly came out of it idk it kinda sucked nuts tbh
What the fuck was that
I only came here to watch that “skin scene” everybody was saying was extremely disturbing and…that was it? You don’t even get to see it. Smh what a disappointment.
THIS SUCKED ASS
i hate the french so fucking much i hope they explode
fuck i just watch nigga
There’s no film like this one. A haunting masterpiece that will stick with you like Lucie’s memories. The saddest and most poetic film ever made. Thank you, Pascal.
Definitely NOT the most fucked up movie on this site. Way too overrated in my opinion.

wow…. this one is haunting… nightmare fuel for real..
SPOILERS: Leaving a lot of reviews today on movies I’ve already seen. Decided to rewatch this one since it gets so much praise. I forgot most of the middle, but having recalled the ending after just watching the first ten minutes I can say everyone got it easy in the beginning. Not to endorse children paying for the sins of the father but I get it and it’s very different upon a second viewing.
I dare you to make it to the end—this is hands-down the best horror ever made. I don’t know about the rest of the fuckin’ viewers on this site, but let me tell you my story with this movie—this is not just a horror film, it’s a fuckin’ experience. I watched this masterpiece while serving a sentence in max security prison. Real shit—locked up with real criminals, some serious badasses. We had this small privilege: a few TV channels. One night, this movie comes on. Man, I shit you not, some of the hardest, coldest inmates I’ve ever known were closing their eyes, couldn’t handle it. Some literally got up and changed the fuckin’ channel. They couldn’t take the gore, the torture scenes—the shit was too real. Especially that part when the girl gets punched straight in the fuckin’ face, or when they find the other girl and the kind of shit she goes through… fuck. But I couldn’t stop watching. The craziest part? I had to finish the movie the next day after I got released. I couldn’t let it go. That’s how deep it hit. At the beginning, you hate that cult or whatever the fuck they are. You hate what they’re doing to those young girls. It feels sick, fucked up, evil. But that’s the genius of this film—you won’t understand shit until the last two minutes. And when you finally do, you sit there… frozen. Silent. Questioning yourself. Suddenly, the torture, the blood, the pain—it makes… Read more »
this movie is so fucking ass It was so boring when i watched with my friend. DIdnt even tell me anything about the talmud or anything, which is very anti-semitic. Me myself as a jew, I feel insulted by this movie. I dont recommend watching it, thought my nephew wanted me to see it. I recommend watching marquis on internet archive. Its way better. It was made in 1989 and still has better plot than this one. The only good part is when the first retard killed herself she was so retarted, maybe she was hunted by the other vietnamese because the french controlled vietnam and this movie is created by the french. My friend alexandru got inspired and he said he will re-do the last girl part. He lives with his grandpa in bucharest sector 6 so its possible that he will start on by doing this to his grandpa. Bucharest is called little paris so its perfect. Sorry for my trauma dump, i feel so traumatised cus once my teacher raped me. I didnt let her touch my balls so she slapped me, makes me relate to this movie. Nevermind, i feel a connection to this movie. Fuck marquis. Está es mi película favorita de terror de todos los tiempos y tengo que decir (LA MEJORRR…) una maldita obra maestra, la Vi por primera vez cuando tenía 6 años y me traumo toda mi vida pero valió la pena el trauma es una verdadera joya del cine de… Read more »
What a movie. Having watched human centipede, leaving me unsatisfied I came across this website by finding the movie “Boxing Helena”. After watching that film it made me intrigued about the given “High rating” column on the right and went right ahead for the very top, “Martyrs” I was fucking satiated. I dont get off on gore but as a highly empathetic person I like to torture myself with this kinda films. I can end this by saying that I found my new best website since Bestgore.
Está es mi película favorita de terror de todos los tiempos y tengo que decir (LA MEJORRR…) una maldita obra maestra, la Vi por primera vez cuando tenía 6 años y me traumo toda mi vida pero valió la pena el trauma es una verdadera joya del cine de terror aunque es tan infravalorada y me fascina ¡Besitos en sus anastasios xoxo!!! 👁️👄👁️💕💕
