If it was an original film, Martyrs, by the brothers Goetz, could have deserved an average rating with lamentations of a wasted potential, but as a remake it’s the definition of offensive laziness. An excellent film that’s been devoid of style and all its sharp edges. An almost incredible softening up in every sense, which is exactly what shouldn’t happen with Martyrs, given the premise that moves the plot. All the changes in the story from the original (minimal in the first half, which dully and blandly follows the footsteps of the original twist, and a bit more in the second half) are for the worse; none of the creative decisions could overcome the final impression. It’s such a pointless and useless film that the creators, who didn’t have a very bad début with Scenic Route, have lost any sympathy that I could have even felt for them. Because if someone has signed up for this, it’s clear that they don’t care at all about artistic self-expression.

Once again, the utter pointlessness of remakes has been proven. This is a film that has no justification for being made. It's not better, and it doesn't approach the subject differently. On the contrary, it takes away a lot from it, turning what could be quite profound into something very shallow, merely pretending to be profound. Definitely see the original movie instead because the remake is worthless.
