Calvaire - A gloomy horror thriller; belgo-luxemburgo-french production
The action takes place in the Ardennes, where a b-serie singer's van breaks down in the middle of a gloomy forest. He finds an old hotel, ran by a lonely, psychologically weak man who is obsessed by the love of the wife who left him.
The main character will lead us into this terribly remote area that seems to be deserted by women, showing zoophile, in-bread hunters-farmers, in a sticky, unhealthy environment.
The actor's work is brilliant, the sphere is incredibly scary and disgusting, without any shocking images. The horror lived by the main character is passed brilliantly to the viewer, who is jumping on it's seat to try to help him.
Despite some minor flaws (heavy rain, and five min later, snow on the fields, etc...) I was sticked to the screen for the whole time. Scary, shocking, but no unnecessary horrible images. 8/10
