10 Christmas Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die
4. Calvaire
A cosy little Christmas tale about a mans road trip in rural Belgium gone awry, Calvaire basically has everything youd want from a festive film: madness, bestiality, inbred locals. What, that isnt how you celebrate Christmas round your way? Marc is a travelling club singer whose van breaks down in the Belgian backcountry but luckily for him theres a nearby inn he can stay at until his transport is fixed, because remote hotels are always a good idea in horror films (just ask Marion Crane or Danny Torrance). After encountering the locals, whose main hobbies are having sex with animals and performing strange folk dances, Marc starts to wish hed just called the AA instead. While Christmastime is more the setting rather than the main theme of Calvaire (no killer Santas here) and its more your urbanite gets lost in the inbreed populated backwoods type of film, there are some particularly disturbing festive-themed scenes including possibly the worst Christmas dinner youll ever be invited to involving a calf, manic laughter and dizzying camera pans that conjures up the same kind of fear as Texas Chainsaw Massacres infamous dinner scene.
