Anchor Bay recently set a January 22, 2016 limited theatrical and Digital HD release of Martyrs, which Kalyn reviewed, stating that it “fails to lack the same punch as the original.” It will then arrive on VOD, DVD and Blu-ray February 2, 2016.
The Goetz Brothers (Scenic Route) directed the U.S. version of Pascal Laugier’s 2009 French horror film that challenged religion, and played a cathartic role in his real life loss.
Check out the full batch of hi-res imagery to go along with the theatrical one-sheet from the pic starring Bailey Noble, who played Adilyn Bellefleur on “True Blood”, with “Pretty Little Liars” star Troian Bellisario. Kate Burton (Stay, Big Trouble in Little China) and Blake Robbins (Rubber) round out the cast of Martyrs.
“Ten-year-old Lucie flees from the isolated warehouse where she has been held prisoner. Deeply traumatized, she is plagued by awful night terrors at the orphanage that takes her in. Her only comfort comes from Anna, a girl her own age. Nearly a decade later and still haunted by demons, Lucie finally tracks down the family that tortured her. As she and Anna move closer to the agonizing truth, they find themselves trapped in a nightmare – if they cannot escape, a martyr’s fate awaits them…”
Mark L. Smith (Vacancy, The Hole, The Revenant) penned the Martyrs screenplay.
