Martyrs is one of my all-time favorite horrors. I agree that "torture porn" can be boring but while torture is an element of the story, there's so much more to this film. It really surprised me.
I hadn't read a synopsis of Martyrs before watching it and I firmly suggest the same for anyone intending to check it out. The story feels like it's going in one direction and then slaps you in the face.
I really enjoyed the panels and this is very minor issue but I don't think there's really a need to cut away to a music loop and a blank screen when the guests change seats. A cam on the empty set with the occasional person walking by would have been fine for me.
