dir. Neil LaBute
The original The Wicker Man has complex characters portrayed by talented actors; a subtle yet invasive sense of growing dread; and a climax of such viciously casual ruthlessness that it practically managed to redefine the whole genre of horror. This version of The Wicker Man has Nicolas Cage punching women, dressing up as a bear, and screaming at burned dolls and bees. It’s not hard to say which is the better film. (It’s this one. This one is the better film.)
