People who prefer Martyrs to Funny Games can ballls

I recently (well 2 or 3 weeks ago) saw the French film, Martyrs.
It's sort of a haunted house story (along the lines of a kind of supernatural Texas Chain Saw Massacre) mixed with Hostel and Saw.

Thinking back about the film, its pretty shoddy, but reading reviews on IMDB by 'users' it seems that many people loved it, one 'user' even comparing it to Funny Games, with Funny Games coming out worse.

For a start, No. For a finish, No.

Funny Games, (imo), is infinitely better than Martyrs (the original Funny Games).
Martyrs, reduced down to a two word review is in essence, Torture Porn. Ok, it mixes in supernatural elements of horror and the whole 'abused as a child' scenario at the beginning. But its not the creepy ghost girl at the beginning that stays with you after the film has finished, its the feeling of complete dread and disgust of paying fifteen pounds for something that, more or less, is Hostel with slightly more likeable characters, mostly because a) they're prettier, b) they're not American Yuppy Jock Boys and c) they spend most of their time in their knickers, which is partly the problem.

At the minute I'm trying (desperately) to write 15,000 words on the current trends in French Cinema (which explains why I would buy Martyrs in the first place). A film like Martyrs does not best represent the best of the trends in French film at the minute.
There's no originality, the ending is extremely poor and there's gross, inexplicable violence from about 15 minutes into the film, which only makes sense towards the end of the film.
Comparing Martyrs to a film like Funny Games not only makes me question why this 'user' would go to a film festival, it makes me question why he watches films anyway.

Funny Games is a postmodern Horror film analysing an audiences views on horror and the instigators of violence and terror on a family. Funny Games pauses halfway through and addresses the audience directly, questioning who they want to survive the ordeal.
Martyrs is a film that almost switches genre halfway through the film, and at the end of the film asks the audience "why did you pay for this shit?".
