I own the original Wicker Man on DVD, a British classic. Comparing the original British version with this Amerixcan remake is like comparing Citizen Kane with The Sex Lives Of The Potato Men.I had the misfortune to be generous enough to give the new version a chance and watched it last night. It was dire, worse than that it was dull, tedious,without any tension and the dialogue was laughable at times.
The supposedly sinister bee-keepers looked like Kenny out of South Park and the whole cinema erupted in laughter when the main character played by Nicholas Cage pulled a gun and ordered a young girl “Back away from the bike, NOW!!!”.
Don’t think about seeing this film, in fact don’t even think about this film. Buy the newly released DVD of the original instead and see how real films are made.
