And with sound design that seems to almost suppress noise beyond dialogue, even in the miles of forest, the film sets a suffocating atmosphere around its characters. During Marcus and Vaughn’s drive out, the film utilizes extreme long shots, shots allowed to hold for an uncomfortably long amount of time, to set an eerie tone and establish the distance between home and the Highlands. While its premise is nothing new, Calibre ’s approach to it is rather refreshing. Childhood friends Marcus ( Martin McCann ) and Vaughn ( Jack Lowden, of Dunkirk fame) travel to the Scottish Highlands to go hunting, but soon need to find an unsuspicious way out after a horrible accident leaves someone dead. What do you do when you’ve made a terrible, irreversible mistake? That’s the very basic, well-trodden concept that Calibre takes on.
