Deliverance meets the Texas Chainsaw Massacre in this European hillbilly horror from Fabrice Du Welz. Marc is a small time cabaret singer who's van breaks down on a secluded road on a dark and stormy night. Forced to take refuge in a nearby village, Marc's arrival sets in motion an increasingly strange chain of events involving the somewhat colourful locals. As reality and fantasy blur, Marc's troubles grow into nightmarish proportions. While often surreal and dreamlike, The Ordeal is also a tough, gritty and unflinching film that is decidedly unsettling.
