This is one of the few new millennium films to really deliver that old feeling of "Don't go in there!"
I also felt sorry for the victim as opposed to wish they would get killed in whatever despicable, PREDICTABLE way and get it over with.
You watch a scary movie and you know something bad is s'posed to happen. But getting there is all the fun, or, as in most of the American efforts, getting there involves teenage kids having sex and dying.
"Calvaire" is different and familiar at the same time. It is what "Saw" wanted to be.
If you enjoy being horrified it's for you.
