They do it very sporadically with random movie & director drops. Once in a while one will pop up like this.

Horrendous movie

Martyrs sandwiched right between Mars Attacks and Monsters Inc

Classic horror film but truly not for everyone. I showed it to a couple people recently who both hated it. One of them found it offensive. The other is a hardened horror fan and said it was the most disturbing film he’d seen.

I haven't seen it, but assume it's one of those pointless torture pornos for people living a nice life, thinking they need something like this to balance out their calm existence... or hidden nut jobs. Not joking.

It definitely is not torture porn, but it is very graphic. Despite its reputation it actually is a very good movie with profound themes

Well spotted Mary Whitehouse 'I haven't seen it, but....'

Yeah, one has to do that with sick things for closeted psychos, like The Human Centipede, or Seed, Hostel...

Haven’t seen SEED yet, but if it’s good enough for closeted psychos, it’s good enough for me

 

[Lord Vader]

I've only seen this once and it genuinely is one of the most disturbing films I've ever seen. Brutal, grim and utterly depressing.

I like The Human Centipede and Hostel films but they’re not on the same level of filmmaking as Martyrs.

Oh jeez, you watched all that... I'm trying to refrain from offensive words.
So what do you mean by a different level, is Martyrs better? I was going to try and watch it, but I'm very afraid.

I feel like The Human Centipede and Hostel are shocking for the sake of shocking. Martyrs is disturbing and shocking but still manages to tell a profound and compelling story.

Let’s say I find the Centipedes and Hostel movies “entertaining”, from Martyrs I needed 2 days to recover. Very disturbing movie, it gets really under your skin.

Exactly, those movies are “fun” B-movies with a sense of humor. The violence in Martyrs is realistic, the acting is convincing, and there are moments of beauty.
