Martyrs (2008) with Adam Unze

The host of the Spark Parade is here to tell us why the french extremist horror film Martyrs is what sparks his passion this week in the Horror House! We talk about the shocking violence, the difference between a movie like this and "torture porn" like Hostel, the twists and turns, and the thought-provoking message in the ambiguous ending!
Just a heads up though - if you haven't seen this movie already, consider this a serious content warning for abuse and self-harm. It's powerful and integral to the movie, but hard to watch.
