I can understand what you're saying... When we were introduced to the Madam who had her exposition-laden speech about 'Martyrs,' I honestly thought that that scene and the movie going forward were going to turn out to be some kind of hallucination constructed by Anna. I thought that it was really silly and unbelievable at first...
It's definitely the concept that did it for me (well, that "interested" me at least)... I looked beyond the execution because the torture aspect made me so damn uncomfortable (which is of course the point).
