Grimy, gritty and cerebral, Let Me Make You a Martyr is a dark and bloody romance wrapped in the cloak of a nasty urban thriller that was the surprise hit of the Fantasia Film Festival in 2016. After years away, Drew (Niko Nicotera) returns to his hometown where he reunites with the love of his life: his adopted sister June. Together they hatch a plan to rid themselves of their abusive crime boss father, Larry (Mark Boone Junior), who refuses to let June go. Unfortunately Larry finds out about the scheme and hires a hit man of his own (Marilyn Manson) to resolve the problem of his wayward children. (Monster Pictures)

Marilyn Manson surprised me here with how well he handled the role and how natural, calm, and simply good he is in the role of a murderer, even though it is a supporting character. Although there is a story here, the film mainly plays on the unpleasant atmosphere, which is almost depressing. Thanks to that, it works quite well, and the film is brutally raw.
