The horror genre is a box of surprises, and quite often, these movies will not deliver what everyone else expected. Some will say a movie lacked scares or relied too much on comedy; others will say a movie’s atmosphere could be darker or was simply too bleak. Of all the movie genres, horror consistently has the most difficult task of appeasing everyone’s tastes. However, time tends to do movies that were initially poorly received justice.The 2000s was a period of intense transformation in the horror genre as filmmakers began to embrace the digital and the peculiar features that came along, resulting in a boom of found footage movies as well as a wave of horror movies with a distinctively digital-looking aspect. In such a period of transition, some movies feel merely like products of their time, while others remain underrated hidden gems that deserve more love.Different from other French New Extremity movies such as Martyrs and High Tension, Calvaire relies much less on graphic imagery, but its subtext might be the most unsettling of all. The movie follows a traveling singer who’s kidnapped by a deranged innkeeper convinced the man is the reincarnation of his long-deceased wife, igniting jealousy and rage among other villagers. Calvaire precisely depicts how a society ruled by male instincts would quickly turn into Hell on Earth.
