Martyrs is a 2015 American horror film directed by Kevin and Michael Goetz, and written by Mark L. Smith. The film stars Troian Bellisario, Bailey Noble and Kate Burton. A remake of Pascal Laugier's 2008 film of the same name, the story sees a woman who, after having been kidnapped and tortured as a child, goes to kill her supposed captors, and with her friend discovers the dark truth behind the torture.
Martyrs premiered at the Sitges Film Festival on October 9, 2015, and was released in limited theaters on January 22, 2016, by Anchor Bay Entertainment. The film was panned critically, with critics deeming it inferior to the original film.
