Last night after finishing my Evil Dead 2 review, I decided
to dive back into Shudder to see if I could find something interesting. After
some thought, I decided on the 2016 crime drama Let Me Make You a Martyr.
Plot/ Adopted siblings hatch a plot to kill their abusive father, a local crime boss who won't go down easily.
This movie was not at all what I expected when I started
watching it and honestly, it was a lot more than I ever imagined that it would
be. This was an extremely thought provoking film with a detailed and layered
storyline that was both entertaining and intelligent. The scripting was
outstanding, as the non-linear approached worked extremely well in creating an
atmosphere, the performances were solid with Marilyn Manson leading the way
with an extremely memorable performance, and the cinematography and production
elements were spot on. Sure, the non-linear storyline and drug use will turn
some people off as will the slower pacing, but in this case, it should be
viewed as the perfect platform for this story to be told in the proper manner. In
the end, this is a movie that should definitely be seen. Yes, it isn’t really a
traditional horror movie, but it does have elements that should make any viewer
cringe. If you haven’t done so already, find it and give it a shot.
