“Martyrs are exceptional people. They survive pain, they survive total deprivation. They bear all the sins of the earth. They give themselves up. They transcend themselves… they are transfigured.”
Existential gore, it’s utterly gross but with a redeeming story, the violence is humanised in a plot that necessitates it, even if it is hard to watch; creepy, solidly shot and acted, it’ll stay with you.
