When California Highway Patrol officer Edward Malus investigates the disappearance of his former fiancée's daughter on a remote Pacific Northwest island, he finds that nothing is what it seems. The pl...( read more  read more... )ace has its own traditions, and its secretive people observe a forgotten way of life. They also ridicule Edward's investigation, insisting that the missing child never existed--or was no longer alive. In his efforts to unravel the island's closely held secrets, Edward is drawn into a web of ancient traditions and murderous deceit, and each step he takes closer to the lost child brings him one step closer to the unspeakable. And, one step closer to The Wicker Man.

    "This is a story whose chapters were carefully written," says Ellen Burstyn's Sister Summersisle, toward the end of the film. I beg to differ; the plot is a bloody mess! The fact that this remake of the 1973 cult classic is horrendously awful is somehow easier to take than if it ...( read more)had been just plain mediocre. I'm not going to waste too much breath on it. LaBute's script loses much of the cleverness and subtlety of Anthony Shaffer's brilliant original, while adapting the few elements it preserves without, it seems, comprehending their significance to the ingenious web Shaffer was spinning. I'm dancing around the subject a little here because I don't want to spoil the plot for anybody who hasn't seen the original, but there were basically three crucial aspects to Edward Woodward's character, Sergeant Howie, that made him just the man the community of Summerisle were looking for: his devout Christianity, his chastity and, as a policeman investigating the disappearance of a little girl, the power he wielded. LaBute fudges all three of these. For example, Nicholas Cage's character is a still a police officer, a Californian highway patrolman, but the script relocates him to Washington state, outside his jurisdiction, rendering him effectively powerless. Anyway, I won't go on. Just avoid it; it's really bad! Cage is dreadful. Molly Parker's is the one effective performance.

    And I thought the original was absurd . . . The Wicker Man 2006 is absolutely terrible, an embarrassment to the original movie that's only entertaining if you can find a bunch of people to mock it with. Somehow, those random musical numbers are sorely amiss.

    This movie STUNK. The original is brilliant, innovative, tightly written and beautiful filmed. The remake is stupid and nonsensical. Do NOT waste your time.

    While I can see why people didn't enjoy this movie, I don't understand why people dislike it as much as they do. There are many movies where the ending allows the continuation of the story, per se... Anyway, seems like people liked the original version much more... So I am very c...( read more)urious to be able to see the original version to see why people seem to like it so much better than this version.
