Calibre

Two friends from Edinburgh, Vaughn and Marcus, leave the city for a weekend of hunting in a remote village in the Scottish Highlands. Marcus is the more experienced of the two, and the trip is meant as a chance to reconnect away from everyday life. A hunting accident changes everything: someone is killed, and the two men decide to hide what happened rather than face the consequences. Their attempt to cover it up draws them into a growing web of lies and suspicion, and the people around them begin to sense that something is wrong.

Calibre is a British production from Creative England, Creative Scotland and Wellington Films, written and directed by Matt Palmer as his first feature. Jack Lowden plays Vaughn and Martin McCann plays Marcus, with Tony Curran as Logan McClay, Ian Pirie as Brian McClay, Cal MacAninch as Al McClay and Kitty Lovett as Kara. The film runs 101 minutes.

Released in June 2018, the film has an IMDb rating of 6.8 from around 38,000 votes and a TMDB rating of 6.5 from more than 800 votes. A critics' rating of 7.7 from 20 reviews places it noticeably higher than the audience scores, suggesting reviewers responded to it more warmly. Palmer's second feature, Fear Street: Prom Queen, followed in 2025.
