A singer who seemed to attract women in the beginning starts a voyage for an event, that he never reaches. Quite different type of horror, as the horror was created by the inbreeded rednecks who had their own village with strange manners.

"Allegory about a flashy male singer whose car breaks down in the sticks (sound familiar?), where he is raped and beaten by a loon who thinks the man is his long lost wife. It gets weirder. Leaves you a little cold, but still worth a look... beware of a scene where a group of men take liberties with a pig... "

When 1 Scene is More Than Enough. (13 movies items)

"The dance scene is obviously the most iconic moment of this movie; it probably says about the villagers more than anything else they'll say or do, and it also says a lot about the purposes and ideas of the author in doing this movie in terms of moods and settings. "

La Nouvelle Vague du Film d'Horreur à la Français (9 movies items)

""Calvaire" doesn't want to be anguishing or scary, it want to be weird, even disturbing possibly. While the first part of the movie is alienating showing the bleak, squalid, world the main character live in, the second half of the movie start dropping some weird shit in front of the viewer, but without really exceeding; whenever the contents of the scenes start being really morbid the camera soften up the mood, being more discrete. There are really nice scenes and moments in this movie, it's we"

"3.2.12. DVD Belgialaista kauhua, joka kuitenkin sitoutuu näppärästi ranskalaiseen uuteen, brutaaliin cinémaan, ollen tosin selvästi kesyimmästä päästä tätä aaltoa. Calvairen ongelma ei ole sen satiiri perinteisiä maaseudun junttikuvauksia kohtaan tai sen tietoisen mietteliäs ja hitaasti kehittyvä tahti. Sen ongelma on enemmänkin se, ettei sen tehokeinoilla ole erityisemmin merkitystä. En pystynyt yksinkertaisesti ostamaan ajatusta

"More strange euro horror with a disturbing, surreal, darkly comedic feel. Like the scene below, I still don't know what the fuck was going on there. "

"27.1 Ranskakauhua sillointälläin ihan mukava katsella, koska mukavia yllättäjiä silloin tällöin löytyy ja yleisestikkin taso hieman kovempi, kuin Hollywoodissa. Tällä kertaa kuitenki jouduin karvaasti pettymään. Periaatteessa pätkä on ihan toimivaa trilleriä, mutta kaatuu hieman turhaan sekavuuteensa. Jännitys ei pääse missään vaihessa kunnolla kohoamaan, vaika muutamia ihan onnistuneitakin kohtauksia on. Pääosaa esittävä Lauren Lucas vetää ihan ok roolisuorituksen, mu"
