This is probably the most disturbing film I've ever seen. the 30 minutes of torture routine near the end was pretty boring and kinda painful to watch but it served it's purpose. I liked the ending ------spoiler--------- When she whispered something to her captor in the end that made her kill herself, do you think she told the truth about what she saw or she lied to end the whole thing and prevent it from happening again?

I was searching around and I found this. Should have known you would have posted about it I have to agree with you the second half of this movie is very disturbing and not many horror movies have that effect on me. The torture scenes were just a bit too real and very uncomfortable to watch. The ending, that is the big mystery, isn't it? I have read a lot of explanations. Anna did not see anything and Mademoiselle killed herself not being able to live with what she had done, killing all the women in vain or Mademoiselle killed herself just to keep the cult alive, thus becoming a Martyer herself and continuing the research. Then as you say Anna could have just lied to prevent it happening again. OR Anna really did have a great vision on what lies beyond and said whispered something so wondrous that Mademoiselle could not wait to transcend and be there and so killed herself. That's my thoughts anyway. The line. "keep doubting", is the one that makes any of the theories possible in my opinion. I like movies that have you thinking and talking long after they are over.

Hey. What's up? It's been a while since I've seen Martyrs. I liked the open ending of it. Have you seen "Frontier(s)"? If you liked Martyrs, you'll probably like that one too.

Yeah I like movies that are open to interpretation too. Frontier(s) is one on my to see list. I have been looking for it locally but our foreign language section is not that great I think I will have to get it off Amazon or ebay.
