Haunting And Brutal, Acclaimed Festival Hit Arrives On DVD April 28th

A young woman’s quest for revenge against her tormentors leads her into a living hell of depravity when the groundbreaking horror-flick MARTYRS debuts on DVD April 28th from Genius Products and The Weinstein Company. From writer-director Pascal Laugier (House of Voices, upcoming Hellraiser remake), the “masterpiece that transcends the genre” (Dread Central), MARTYRS has screened at major film festivals including the Cannes Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and Screamfest LA, and was nominated for Best Film at the 2008 Catalonian International Film Festival. Lucie, a 10 year-old girl, is found wandering in the streets, bruised and bloodied. The police quickly learn that the girl has been held hostage for most of her life in an empty, freezing room in an abandoned slaughterhouse. Filthy, starving and dehydrated, the child's body shows no signs of sexual abuse, but rather something far more maniacal. Fifteen years later, unspeakable horrors unfold as Lucie sets out to get revenge on her merciless attackers. “A ruthless, violent explosion of terror” (Ain’t It Cool News), MARTYRS is “one of the most ferocious horror films ever made” (FearNet.com). With a 55-minute behind the scenes featurette entitled Chroniques Organic: The Making of Martyrs and more.
