Josh A @RT94970263 03/16/2025 This isn't as bad as everyone says it is. At least, I didn't think it was. When you separate it from The Wicker Man and see it as its own thing, its a fun horror movie. Because that's kinda what it is. It's like Hot Fuzz: it's a spiritual sequel to its predecessor, not a full on sequel. Not that I'm saying this is anywhere near as good as Hot Fuzz. The plot is simple: two Americans go to Scotland to preach. This is basically the American version of the Wicker Man, even though there already is one. It feels less unique and more generic, but it's still an alright and decently entertaining movie. Better than the remake at least. There's also similarities to The Wicker Man. It's still about paganism and a Scottish island with pagans on it, but it's also directly similar. For instance, in the original, the main character gets burnt in a wicker statue. In this one, the cult leader gets burnt along with a wicker statue. It also just feels similar in style. Overall, it's a solid movie. Not amazing, but not awful.

The only reason I stuck with it was the Scottish scenery and even that was a strain. This is possibly the worst film I ever laid eyes on and I have suffered thru several........ Do not waste your time on this turd !!!!

See more 11/12/2017 Wicker Tree is awful, just watch The Wicker Man again instead. See more 07/24/2015 "The Wicker Man" starring Edward Woodward is one of the greatest horror films of all time. It's remake starring Nicolas Cage is one of the worst films of all time. 39 years after the original, the film's director, Robin Hardy makes this follow up to the original, based on his book. You might be thinking "surely the director of the original would have a better chance of continuing that film's legacy than Neil LaBute did." You'd be wrong. Aside from the name and the appearance of Sir Christopher Lee, this film has absolutely nothing to do with "The Wicker Man." And it's not a very good film on it's own. Poor acting (especially the American leads), shoddy production, a weak script all combine to make a hopeless shambles of a movie. Unlike the godawful remake, there's no redeeming laugh out loud qualities to the badness that make it any fun to watch. It's just a boring pointless slog of a film. You're not missing anything by skipping this one. See more Read all reviews
