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.

World War Z isn't terrible to be fair to it. It's just not *good* and could have been.

It's more frustrating that it's not better than particularly bad.

Probably worth a watch if you're after that particular kinda thing and going in with low expectations will help.

Tangentially related: I enjoy Best of the Worst quite a lot.
