Back in 2008, Pascal Laugier brought us Martyrs which contained, arguably, one of the most brutal torture scenes on film. The news of the American remake dropped quite some time ago, but we didn’t have a release date… until now! January 22, 2016 is the day that Anchor Bay will be bringing Martyrs to theaters and digital HD! The movie is co-produced by Blumhouse and The Safran Company, so you can bet that it will be a high quality remake. However, I am not optimistic that it will be nearly as brutal as the original. We only have about a month and a half to wait now to see how this latest remake holds up to a beloved (probably not the right word…) foreign language horror film. Personally, I’ll be picking up a ticket to see this one on opening night.
