I knew I was in for a ride when I saw the opening credits were in Papyrus
Will👻Aug 29, 2013I want you to imagine a world where another one of the classic psychological thrillers of the 20th century, The Silence of the Lambs, was remade in a similarly terrible fashion to this. This is how the classic 'Lambs' scene between Clarice and Lecter would pan…

I'm not going to bat for this as some hidden success just waiting to be reclaimed, but it's a lot more interesting than its idiotic "so bad it's good" reputation would suggest. It definitely has a tough time juggling some pretty disparate tones, but that awkwardness also…

if the entire 102 minute runtime of this movie consisted only of what happened in the last 30 minutes the film would improve GREATLY

Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineJul 8, 2014While The Wicker Man is really atrocious, it manages to entertain the audience with a couple of unintentionally hilarious moments and an “inspired” performance from Nicolas Cage. This is the worst film I’ve seen him in by far. It’s supposed to work as a suspense thriller…

this movie suffers greatly from the lack of subtlety, the mystery is done so poorly and the writing is really bad, the only part to enjoy is nicolas cage's performance which is the only reason i watched it, i think he did the best he could
Almost the makings of an all time classic. That’s okay, Nick. At least you gave us a good laugh and a legendary quote. NOT THE BEEEEEEES.

Not as bad as people make it out to be but it isn’t a good movie. They made small changes which were unnecessary and took away from the original film. Cage isn’t even that cage in it.I wonder how he would play it now.
Fun fact: after I watched this movie as a child I wore turtlenecks for 2 months straight. I don’t know why i did it but I hate myself for it and Bees.

The Wicker Man isn't all that bad a movie; it's visually striking and ambitious in some ways. It just fails to bring enough to the table to fully distance itself from the original.
There may be a way to remake 1973's cult thriller The Wicker Man, in which a deeply Christian cop has his religious convictions shaken to the core as he investigates the disappearance of a child from within a cheerfully pagan community, but Neil LaBute didn't find it.
