10 Forgotten Remote Outpost Horror Movie Gems

10. Calibre

If you work for the Scottish tourism board, then look away now, because 2018’s Calibre does not paint your country in a good light.

Directed by Matt Palmer, this Netflix movie stars Jack Lowden and Martin McCann as two men who travel to the remote Scottish Highlands to do a spot of hunting. Unfortunately, they end up mixing with the wrong sort after an evening in the pub brings them into contact with a local cult. 

After a series of misfortunes strike our heroes, they resolve to sneak out of the small village they are staying in without the cult noticing. This proves to be much easier said than done. 

Calibre works so well because of how assuming its setting is. To the untrained eye, it’s a nice, quiet settlement in a beautiful part of the Scottish countryside, somewhere you might realistically go for a weekend break. It is these same idyllic qualities that doom the film’s protagonists, as once they’re there, they have nowhere else to go. 

It’s also worth watching for a great performance of the cult leader by Tony Curran, AKA Vincent Van Gogh in that episode of Doctor Who.
