Even though I had seen all the clips, I still wasn't ready. It feels as if everyone but Nicholas Cage is in a serious drama, and the few moments where we get to watch him from an outside perspective, he actually comes off as genuinely disturbing.

It's a very sad, slow-paced horror film, and it's a shame that this isn't a 480 minute limited series because I could have watched Martin for much, much longer.
