I went with a friend, we both enjoyed it. It's not that scary, nor does it try to be, more just creepy and weird and interesting. It's a really slow boil, there's not much of a plot and what there is is very obvious from the start. By the end it almost strays into horror comedy territory. I liked it because it was different and had some interesting ideas for a cult, plus I had a pretty good laugh at a couple of points. Not a masterpiece, but I could see this becoming a cult classic.
Some of my friends have hated it, calling it pretentious and boring. The main couple aren't great as actors, although the guy does do a great "I'm so stoned and confused" -face, which is relevant to this film.
If you like the original Wicker Man you'll probably enjoy this.
Definitely worth watching if you like seeing films that are not like every other film, but don't go in expecting to be scared out of your seat.
