CALVAIRE (4 STARS)

Calvaire (the ordeal) is a French film from 2004. It's about a good looking singer who is stranded in the woods when his van brakes down. He's taken to an inn where he meets interesting people.

I don't want to give anything away. Most of the fun is letting it all unfold, like most horror films of this nature.

I thought this movie was a grade A piece of work. The acting was amazing and raw. The camera work blew me away at times, and always looked incredible. The story was great, and was a lot of fun. It didn't take itself too seriously and didn't really clown around either.

The scene with the villagers was a personal favorite. If you're a horror film person and you have yet seen this shame on you. It's great.

Heres a youtube of the scene.
