I care. What I enjoy most from a horror/scifi/fantasy film is the ability to present huge themes within an audience-friendly framework.
I liked Martyrs, but I didn't find it to be ground-breaking or brilliant.
It's brutality loses its impact after a while and simply becomes numbing, which may be someone's intention, but hardly the way I want to feel after viewing a film.
I found the "reason" behind everything to be silly & foolish & half-baked. Yes, the filmmakers tried to elevate the torture genre (aiming high is a wonderful thing) but their reach exceed their grasp.
