The Duel (2016)

Texas Ranger takes an assignment to go and check out a town run by the man who killed his father 20 years ago in a duel. The ranger's wife is sick of being left home alone, so she comes along for the ride. Something weird's definitely going on there. The town's leader (Woody Harrelson) forces his way into the newcomers' lives quickly by making him the sheriff and her an object of affection. It's got a Wicker Man/Midsommar feel about it: no one's talking, but all of the residents have a shared secret.

I think that this could've been good. But Harrelson -- with his shaved eyebrows and snake handling services -- is too weird and the wife's easy switch from dedicated wife to traitor is unexplained. It all winds up being rather empty.
