LET US PREY (2014)

Let Us Prey is set in a small, desolate Scottish town that seems to have virtually been deserted.  It's Rachel's first night on the local police force there, one that becomes eventful when the station is visited by a mysterious bearded man whose arrival sets in motion a night of mind games and violence as he seems to purposeful bring out the absolute worst demons in those who come into contact with him.  While not particularly scary, the film is violent and bloody in a joyously over-the-top way, while building up the deeper meaning behind what's going on ... but the ending is a mess (literally and figuratively), and overall the film - for me - was seriously ugly and dour, without a single character worth caring or rooting for.  Very mixed feelings on this one, but overall - nah.
