SOME PEOPLE WOULD KILL FOR COMPANY

In the early 21st century, as European art and horror films began to push the boundaries of extremity and endurance, Calvaire emerged as one of the standout entries. A shattering debut from Belgian director Fabrice Du Welz, Calvaires ability to subvert genre and wrong-foot its audience marked the arrival of a major new talent.

Travelling cabaret singer Marc Stevens (Laurent Lucas) finds himself stranded when his van breaks down in a remote mountain region in France, but is rescued by local innkeeper Mr. Bartel (Jackie Berroyer) who offers to help Marc fix his van and give him shelter for the night. But Bartel is fragile and unstable, and Marc reminds him of his long lost wife. Soon, Bartel is refusing to let Marc leave. With his van sabotaged and no means of calling for help, Marcs ordeal is about to begin…

A terrifying, darkly comic tale that drew comparisons to Deliverance, Straw Dogs and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Calvaire is a gripping, utterly involving thriller that will put you through the wringer.
