The Wicker Man (2006)


The Good:
Leelee Sobieski for some reason seems to captivate me. She is like a pretty Helen Hunt.
The... um... uh... there was a... um.... the lighting was good, ramchip! (a little MST3K reference for ya).

The Bad:
Slow and not even interesting.
I usually try and view a remake as a new movie, and many have been verey good movies, but this, this was just terrible.
They changed the creepy into the stupid.
I can barely type I disliked it so much.

Overall: Wow, amazingly bad. This film may well be a Feeling Minnesota.

Though it does make me appreciate living in the modern world... wicker man... bah! Human sacrifices! Silly celtic barbarian idiots*! They should be thankful the Romans brought them civilization! I find the celts endlessly fascinating, but "Hail Caesar!"

*Well, the ones in the British Isles at least. The further east you go the more the celts become civil.

The original was slow - but kind of one of those things you HAVE to see if you're a horror fan just because it's in the cannon. Kind of like Children of the Corn in it's rural hokieness. Poor NC just hasn't done much for me since Raising Arizona.

Yeah, this movie was just pathetically bad. And I mean looking at the clock every 15 minutes bad. I gave the movie its due, and watched it from start to finish... but it was nothing short of horrible.

However, I agree: Leelee Sobieski is curiously hawt.
