Puzzlingly misguided, Neil LaBute's update The Wicker Man struggles against unintentional comedy and fails.
All Critics (107) | Top Critics (18) | Fresh (16) | Rotten (91)
The '73 film is brilliantly constructed and ends with a punctuation mark that was shocking in its day. LaBute's movie attempts to shock, as well, and does: Given the names involved and the casting of Cage, it is shockingly bad. Sep 23, 2006 | Rating: 1.5/4

Neil LaBute's utterly misconceived remake of Robin Hardy's 1973 cult horror film is a boring, fright-free catastrophe. Sep 23, 2006 | Full Review…

Despite retaining significant chunks of Shaffer's dialogue to go along with the basic story structure, LaBute has transformed the eerie, disturbing psychological thriller into an unintentional comedy. Sep 7, 2006 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The Wicker Man is comically inept as a horror movie, unable to even manage an effective false scare, or sustain suspense for more than a beat or two. Sep 5, 2006 | Rating: 1/5

To his credit Cage plays it with an admirably straight face, even when mugging a woman for her bear costume. But then he must have known from the beginning he was backing a loser. Sep 5, 2006 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The original Wicker Man had its flaws, particularly in the lumpy pacing. LaBute's thoroughly inessential remake not only lovingly reproduces those flaws, it introduces a slew of new ones. Sep 2, 2006 | Rating: D+

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. Apr 17, 2015 | Rating: F | Full Review…

LaBute has replaced the seduction of the first film with a general sense of bewilderment and loss; it's good for building tension but doesn't fit with the payoff. The plot elements lead where they need to go well enough but don't mix particularly well. Mar 10, 2011 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…
