Episode 033 - Calvaire

Published: April 11, 2019, 8:33 p.m.

Sometimes simple is scary, and boy oh boy does Calvaire (The Ordeal) deliver. Ryan and Tim go a little crazy themselves over the intense thematic nature of this film (including a brief foray into comparing it to American Idol), as well as the in-your-face, stark, disturbing realism. Rating it with a “stream” from Tim and an elusive “buy” from Ryan, don’t be fooled: this movie is well worth the watch for any horror fan.
