10 Forgotten Remote Outpost Horror Movie Gems
6. The Decline
Considering that Canada is basically one giant remote outpost, it’s not a surprise that the country has provided plenty of horrors like this one.
In 2020, Netflix greenlit its first ever original movie produced entirely in Quebec. This was Patrice Laliberté’s Jusqu'au déclin, or The Decline to give it its English name.
Guillaume Laurin stars as Antoine, a man who is inspired to become a survivalist by a captivating content creator named Alain (Réal Bossé). His family are less keen, so Antoine does what any good husband and father would in his situation and abandons them to go live in Alain’s camp.
Nice work.
At first, he’s smitten with the settlement and how self-sufficient it is, deciding that this is the place he wants to be when society collapses. In a tragic turn of events, an accident causes the camp’s own hierarchy to crumble, setting off a catastrophic chain reaction.
The Decline isn’t just a dramatic horror-thriller with a great setting, but also a great insight into the minds of people like this - people who have become so paranoid that they are willing to completely disregard human conventions in order to stay alive.
