The other night my wife made the mistake of telling me that she was willing to watch any movie with me… Even a horror movie! So I racked my brain for a movie that she has never seen, has a slow build up and would keep her awake. I decided to pick Calvaire one of the most horrific and disturbing films I’ve ever seen that was also a good movie. I knew if I could keep her awake for the first 15 minutes she couldn’t fall asleep if she wanted. I feel like saying anything else about the movie might spoil the experience so if you haven’t seen it don’t read anymore don’t watch the trailer just watch the film! The movie is now an instant watch on Netflix.
Thinking back I could comment on the role of the female in this movie or the way performers are perceived and sometimes coveted… but who cares? These elements helped the story but I’d rather just immerse myself in the demented torment this film delivers. Oh and some of the shots especially at the end are just gorgeous.
