Martyrs is a 2008 psychological horror film written and directed by Pascal Laugier. The film stars Morjana Alaoui, Mylène Jampanoï, and Catherine Bégin. Set in 1986, it follows the story of Lucie, a traumatized young woman who seeks revenge against individuals who abducted and tortured her as a child. Her actions, aided by her friend Anna, also a victim of abuse, result in dire consequences. Laugier wrote the screenplay for Martyrs during a period in which he was suicidal and experiencing clinical depression, inspiring him to "make a movie about pain." He was particularly influenced by Catholicism while writing the film. Martyrs was an international co-production between France and Canada. Principal photography began in Montreal in 2007. Martyrs screened at the French film market Marché du Film in May 2008, where it incited audience walkouts due to its graphic and disturbing content.
