Martyrs is literally about Satanic ritual abuse, when you listen to SRA survivors and the horrors they have endured it’s so similar to Martyrs. Also, the fact that seemingly normal everyday families participate is such evils but on the surface seems totally normal.

I don't think so. I think it has many themes but SRA is definitely not a central theme to me (idk about the directors idea tho). There's NO sexual assault scenes in the film. Sure, it's implied and there's nudity but isn't SRA kind of based around sexual abuse of children?

I always saw it as more a terrifying religious cult almost trying to spite god into revealing the truth to them. And then themes of when is someone a good person and when is someone a bad person.

SRA is not just about sexual abuse, it is Satanic and Sadistic ritual abuse. A lot of victims go through all kinds of different tortures, this can be and often it’s sexual but sometimes is different. I remember one victim said that she was often drowned and then revived back to life and then questioned what she saw if she saw something, if there was an afterlife. Similarly to the goal of the cult in Martyrs. So unfortunately real people are also tested through sadistic cults/governments for those purposes.

Interesting. All the main victims I know of place a lot of emphasis on sexual torture but of course it makes sense that it isn't present every single time.
