Calvaire
Almost every movie on this list has had some kind of sick, sexual perversion so far. Incest and rape and such. Calvaire adds to that by having some animal rape. I know that is a messed up way to open a paragraph, but I am pulling no punches. Calvaire is one of those movies you walk away from sort of wobbling, trying to reassess what you just witnessed, while at the same time, trying to wipe it clean from your mind.
At first, you think Calvaire is the typical story of the “car breaks down in woods and people need to stay in small, eclectic, town while it gets fixed” type of horror movies, and you are kind of right. But then it goes from Texas Chainsaw to Deliverance really, REALLY quickly. Watching any kind of rape on film can be brutal and hard to swallow (I’ll take “Wordplay that will ensure I end up in Hell” for 500, Alex), and this movie proves that animal rape is even more difficult to sit through.
There is so much more that happens in this movie, but I just can’t get over the animal rape. It fucked me up, seriously.
