Puzzlingly misguided, Neil LaBute's update The Wicker Man struggles against unintentional comedy and fails. Read critic reviews

Sometimes a movie hits the rarest of heights, in fact, some may refer to it as a low. A film that's so utterly bad it's actually good.

In the final act of The Wicker Man, when Nicolas Cage has donned a bear suit, you have to wonder just what it is you're watching.

Bad idea. Bad film.

Nearly all of what made the 1973 film such an unforgettable cinematic experience is lost in translation.

Audience Reviews for The Wicker Man

Nov 10, 2016"No! Not the bees! Not the bees!" Nicolas Cage stars in Neil LaBute's remake of the cult horror film The Wicker Man. When California patrolman Edward Malus receives a letter from his former fiancée asking for help finding her missing daughter he flies out to a remove private island to investigate, and comes to believe that a feminist cult has abducted the child to be a pagan sacrifice. Unfortunately the storytelling is just awful, and does a terribly job at building intrigue and suspense; as Malus is continually stonewalled at every turn. Additionally, the performances are all pretty bland, except for Cage who goes really over-the-top. Complete garbage, The Wicker Man is an incredible dull non-thriller that doesn't deliver any scares.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jun 01, 2014Incredibly unnecessary and boring with occasional unintentional humour. Not as hilarious and goofy as you might be hoping for.ZACHO D Super Reviewer

Apr 16, 2013So indescribably bad and full of plot holes. I have to give Cage credit though--he knows how to make an entertainingly-bad movie. This is a blast to watch because it sucks so much lol.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Feb 22, 2013I don't know why Hollywood always have to be such a pain in the ass by making remakes. And watching Nicolas Cage is the most annoying 106 minutes of my life. I hated the whole film for it's stupidity and lousy schlocky shocks.The film offers nothing good, only scared audience by suddenly introducing loud noises and dreadful dream sequence. Expected nothing, received nothing.Sylvester K Super Reviewer
