The Wicker Man 2006

“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 terrible job at building intrigue and suspense. Malus is continually stonewalled at every turn, which is extremely boring to watch. 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 film that doesn’t deliver any scares.
