There's a "Wicker Man" tie-in (think of it as a mildly-retarded cousin), complete with a burning wicker thing that sort of resembles a badly misshapen nude couple, featured briefly at the very end (not mentioned before that, so meant to be a complete surprise, I think, except TITLE), and a Christopher Lee cameo, 99% of which is included in the trailer.
“a man gets struck by lightning and goes “zzzt”, Jason gets shot and dies and the submarine blows up.”
It's got a pretty cool basic plot with religious nuttery (pagan and fundamentalist), spectacular sinning, cultural dissonances (Scots vs. Yanqui, cowboy vs. foxhunt).
Well worth it for that stuff alone.

Have you seen Apostle? Gareth "The Raid" Evans goes folk horror, ramps up the tension and then gets torture-y/gory, to the point that my good lady couldn't watch the end of it.
Or, slightly more action-packed and tosh-but-enjoyable - Happy Death Day (and Happy Death Day 2U which is that rare beast, a half-decent sequel)?
Or tosh and I can't remember if I enjoyed it or not - Satanic Panic? Or The Babysitter, which is in a similar vein?
Or Scottish zombie high school musical Anna and the Apocalypse?
Grim Scottish hunting-trip-goes-wrong drama Calibre?
Cheers WingNut. I did Apostle & I liked it. Liked HDD but haven't yet caught up with the sequel. Enjoyed Babysitter & Anna too, Anna enough to watch three times, which is rare for me and about 0.3 times more than it warranted (did you catch up with Better Watch out?).
I will hunt down Satanic Panic & Calibre with extreme prejudice.
