Darkly funny hillbilly horror pastiche with lots of biblical symbolism, but mostly just plain fun - goofy all around. Really liked it, great performances. Also, penguin dance scene!
The slow buildup is very effective at making the horrible things that will follow even worse. Disturbing and haunting, with some extremely uncomfortable moments and a few surprisingly good shots. In the end you'll feel exhausted and filthy, and to me that means Calvaire achieved its goals wonderfully.
this movie is so weird, and odd..and very weirdly paced...it could have been so much better with a sense of direction it just seems to try so hard and change gears so much it is ultimately a letdown
Remember the preview for the Liam Neeson actioner Unknown, where his wife looks at him and says, "I'm not your wife." This movie has the same line but in a very, very different light.
Expected more. A bit creepy at first, but about halfway through it loses some momentum. The bar scene is kind of wierd but the trailer unfortunately spoiled that. Ending was way too abrupt. Not nearly as wierd nor as creepy as I hoped it would be. Pretty much a waste of time, actually.
The bar scene is probably one of the creepiest/wierdest scenes I've ever seen. The ending is also pretty awesome. The only problem was the slow pacing in the first part of the movie, but that's something which can be forgiven.
A disturbing and darkly satirical film. Strange and creepy but definitely intense and suspenseful. The ending is one you'll either love or hate. But most likely hate.
