Marcus is warned twice to back off, yet never does. The elders mill around in the background of the pub, clearly suspicious of these new guys flirting with their women.
When Kara (Kitty Lovett) and Iona (Kate Bracken) walk in, Vaughn plays reluctant wingman to Marcus’ horndog act. What could possibly go wrong?īefore they even get to the woods, though, they spend an evening at the local pub. Small problem: Vaughn has never been hunting before. They decide to take a break from it all and head up to a Scottish Highlands village for a weekend hunting trip. In Edinburgh, Marcus is a well-connected and wildly aggressive financial analyst and Vaughn is newly engaged with a baby on the way. The plot: Marcus (Martin McCann) and Vaughn ( Dunkirk’s Jack Lowden) are incredibly loyal, lifelong friends who just need a break from the big city. He reportedly spent 9 years trying to get the film made, and he clearly put that time to good use, crafting a flawless thriller about not only the tension of an impossible situation but also the class divisions it touches on. It all comes to us from the mind of Matt Palmer, a Scottish writer-director making his feature-length debut.
The horror on display in Calibre is entirely human as a hunting accident gone wrong sets two friends on a path toward moral and physical destruction.

In the below review, I’ll try to avoid that same mistake and keep the spoilers to a minimum.Įarlier this year, Netflix’s The Ritual sent four friends into the Scandinavian woods to confront demons, both metaphorical and literal. Not to be too precious about this, but if you are thinking about watching the new Netflix Movie Calibre whatever you do don’t watch the trailer.
