Folk Horror for a Troubled Conscience: Calibre
-
Narrated by:

By:
Old school friends, taking a short hunting holiday in northern Scotland. A harmless ritual, it seems, just young professionals doing some male bonding as one of them prepares for fatherhood. But a little bit of negligence and some bad luck leads to unspeakable tragedy. All the ingredients are there for a Wicker-Man-esque folk horror: strangers entering a dying community whose livelihood is under threat, a community leader trying to keep it all together, and most of all a sense of atavism, a reversion to the "old ways" especially when it comes to dealing with outsiders bringing trouble. Matt Palmer's 2018 film Calibre is folk horror in its most grown up, morally challenging and truly agonizing to watch.
