The Shrine (2010)
A report of a missing hiker sends a trio of journalists into the old world backwoods seeking clues. This is one you really need to stick with for the payoff. Try to keep the first scene in mind when you are bored to tears watching nearly every mindless cliche' and stupid move and dry worn out dialogue... they get to the statue and things still don't improve despite the momentary cool break in the monotony. BUT.. if you can stick with it you will be rewarded in the final 3rd of the film. Remember that first scene? Well if you can make it until you see it again you will be in for a treat. The ending of the movie is well worth seeing as things get insanely violent and demonic. If this pops up on cable and you have nothing better to do this wouldn't be a waste of your time.. there are moments I would compare favorably to The Evil Dead (1981) but they are short lived (about the last 10 minutes of the movie).
