Martyrs Watch -- Returning After Months of Silence

It's been tons of calendar turns since I've anxiously anticipated seeing this (as word has it) gruesome, cerebral, provocative French horror cult-classic-in-the-making. So what better way to bring the talk back then with news on its rapidly approaching DVD street date. Like Inside, Martyrs is said to be so damn raw-dog that no American theater would ever screen it, hence it's straight-to-DVD release plan (it comes out on April 28, so expect me to unsuccessfully plan screenings at my apartment). As long as I can see the film in its uncut glory, that's cool with moi.

The DVD cover art:

"Extras include a 55-minute behind-the-scenes documentary called Chroniques Organic: The Making of MARTYRS....." = superb. I love bonus feature documentaries, especially ones that exceed nine skimpy minutes. Yet another reason to purchase this one on sight.
