When you have a person reticent to shoot a gun prodded along by someone excited to shoot, well, bad things tend to happen. The duo heads out to a tucked-away village in the Scottish Highlands. Marcus is a bachelor’s bachelor, looking to drink, smoke, snort, and hook up. The movie starts with Marcus (Martin McCann) and Vaughn (Jack Lowden) getting away for a weekend hunting trip. The sense of dread that gripped me throughout isn’t a sensation that feels good-but it’s the feeling you get when a filmmaker, in this case, writer and director Matt Palmer, has you completely in their palm. Like, “stop the movie a few times just to get a break” intense.
Calibre is a descent into darkness, and it’s thrilling. A python has never choked me out, but I imagine watching Netflix’s Calibre is a reasonable approximation.
