Set in 1905 off the coast of Scotland centered around a cult living in isolation. If you like horror give this a watch if you haven't already.

Haven't heard of it before. Sounds interesting. I really liked the original version of Wickerman (the one with Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward).

I'd say it's level of borrowing from Wicker Man was so great it's the only thing that kept me from super-loving it. Still definitely worth a watch though, very well made.
If you like ambient, atmospheric horror, you should be watching Haunting of Hill House.

I've heard of that one, but haven't seen it yet. Been meaning to.
Ghost stories are what I like best.

I adore The Wicker Man (the original, not the BEEEESSSSS), and beyond Island Housing A Religious Cult, I thought they went in enough of a different direction that I stopped comparing the two about 15 minutes in or so.
I have to say, I Cannot Handle Gore/Body Horror, and I watched this with some apprehension since the reviews made a lot about the violence in the second half. But I think they oversold the gore, I didn't have any problems watching this. Or I'm not nearly as grossed out by gore as I tell myself I am.
Oh, hey, you know, at some point in this post I should probably say that I also really liked this movie.

I enjoyed it too. It was messed up, but I enjoyed it more than I usually enjoy horror. I also like Martin Sheen, I think he's great in basically everything he's in. Dan Stevens' overacted in this, but I think it fit a lot with his character, so it worked for me.
