Where British horror does shine, however, is with its small, independent horror productions. Britain is stunning in parts but it is also a bit grim and the generally awful weather doesn’t help. One of my greatest pleasures is getting in our convertible, dropping the top and driving to Snowdon and then back down along the coast. Where I live is lovely and not depressing at all” I live in a stunning rural part of North Wales about a half hour drive away from some of the most amazing parts of the UK.
I know we have some fiercely proud people in the UK so I am just getting in before the people who might say “You just don’t live in a decent part of Britain. I am pretty sure this is where our sarcastic, self deprecating, humour comes from. Britain is just a bit of a depressing place and everyone here knows it, deep down. The thought of watching the events of No One Gets Out Alive but set in Birmingham genuinely makes me shudder. The novel is set in Birmingham in England.
#CALIBRE NETFLIX MOVIE MOVIE#
This is a movie based on a British novel and directed by British producers. Take fellow Netflix movie No One Gets Out Alive for example. It’s all just a bit depressing.Ĭalibre manages to avoid the usual gloominess of British horror movies. Not so much in the themes and subject matter, but the general greyness of the environment and some of the filming techniques employed. I find British horror to be particularly grim. Sure, there are plenty of old classics that I absolutely love but British horror of the 2000’s / 2010’s just hasn’t done it for me.
British Horrorĭespite being Welsh, I have never been a particularly big fan of British horror. If that’s your thing, stick around, check out some more horror movie reviews and support your local, non-pretentious, horror review site. Hell, we’ll even help to explain the ending if we can. We watch a movie and we tell you if we thought it was worth your time, nothing more.
#CALIBRE NETFLIX MOVIE FULL#
For full disclosure, my partner picks the movies and I review them so I don’t go into a movie with any preconceived ideas.
We want to do things a little different and offer things up as if we are two people in a room chatting. Loads of horror movie review sites do this already. We don’t get into the philosophical aspect of movies or analyse the director’s intentions or vision. We want to take the pretention out of the horror review scene. We Do Things a Little DifferentĪs always, here at Knockout Horror, we are just presenting a review of a movie. I felt as though the pacing was fantastic but if you are expecting a ton of action, this is probably not for you and you may find yourself a bit bored. If you don’t enjoy slow paced movies, this may not be for you. I really can’t turn down an opportunity to review an actually decent Netflix original horror movie, either, so here we are.īefore we start, I should point out that Calibre is a fairly slow paced thriller movie with a decent length runtime of 101 minutes. The tension and mood would be very fitting in any horror movie. It really is more of a thriller but, hell, I think it ticks enough boxes to class it as something of a horror, at least in spirit. I find it hard to class as a horror movie.
I suppose, technically, I shouldn’t review Calibre.
