Calvaire (2004)

Description

In the tradition of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Psycho and Deliverance comes this chilling Belgian horror that pushes the limits of shock filmmaking. Director and co-writer Fabrice Du Welz masterfully evokes a sense of deeply disturbing terror as Marc Stevens' world goes profoundly and utterly wrong. When his car breaks down in the middle of the isolated backcountry, he's forced to seek refuge in a rural inn. Marc is taken in by Bartel, a lonely and psychologically fragile innkeeper who promises to help. But when Marc catches him dismantling his car, he realizes that the innkeeper has other plans for him - sadistic plans that will push him to the bounds of human pain and suffering.
