What happens
Martyrs is a 2015 American horror film directed by Kevin and Michael Goetz, written by Mark L. Smith, and starring Troian Bellisario, Bailey Noble and Kate Burton. A remake of Pascal Laugier's 2008 film of the same name, the story sees a woman who, after having been kidnapped and tortured as a child, goes to kill her supposed captors, and with her friend discovers the dark truth behind her abuse. The development of Martyrs began in 2008, with Daniel Stamm originally attached to direct the project from Smith's screenplay. The Goetz brothers were ultimately hired to direct the film in 2015 with financing through Blumhouse Productions. Principal photography took place over sixteen days in Los Angeles, California in early 2015. Martyrs premiered at the Sitges Film Festival on October 9, 2015, and was released in limited theaters on January 22, 2016, by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The film was panned critically, with most critics deeming it inferior to the original film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
