Shutter my *

No Shutter Island last night. Why? No seats left because we are brain dead and do not reserve our tickets on a Friday screening.

Oh well, we sat down and started to think about what else we could do and I came up with the incredibly original idea to go to Cem’s and eat junk and watch a movie. His eyes lit up and he said ‘And I have this really awesome horror movie ready for us to watch’ little did we know that this movie would put us off so much that we could not even taste the delicious raspberry cheesecake that Burak bought.

We watched Martyrs, a french mystery-horror movie written and directed by Pascal Laugier. This movie is thought to be a new example of new era French horror films similar to À l'intérieur (English title Inside). Laugier builds on the horror part during the first part of the movie and practically leaves you with nothing but your face all creased and a discomfort in your stomach. Brilliant, quoting Cem. The rest of the movie is calmer but for some reason the fear of something grotty happening definitely lurked in the back of our heads. Need to remind that the rest of the movie brought enough discomfort to still not want to eat that delicious cheesecake. Its over 18 rated, it is grotty and it is a must see AND it is in French!
