As they travel into the heart of an isolated Scottish village in the highlands, they’re greeted with an inhospitable reception from the locals complete with suspicious looks and off-hand warnings to stay away from the local girls. The story follows soon-to-be-a-Dad Vaughn ( Jack Lowden) who celebrates his engagement and future fatherhood by agreeing to a hunting trip with best friend Marcus ( Martin McCann).
The characters are well fleshed out for the most part too, with some long, exhausting bites of dialogue and perfectly timed instances of silence used effectively to heighten the suspense before a well worked finale that provides some welcome relief from the tension choking large stretches of the plot. The story is simple enough – a hunting trip between two life-long friends quickly becomes a nightmare as a tragedy ensues, resulting in a tense, isolating thriller dripping in gorgeous visuals showing off the landscape of Scotland.
Calibre is the sort of film that benefits from going in blind with no prior knowledge of the film, especially in relation to its official trailer.
