The Wicker Man / USA / 2006

Being something of a proponent for throwaway art, I’m somewhat ashamed to say how reprehensibly incompetent I found this film. Save for Nicolas Cage dressed as a bear and punching the occasional woman in the face, nothing in this film sustains any of the oddness of the original. Even the New and Improved wicker man looks like more of a rural attraction than it does a gigantic tomb. Given the concentrated sexism of Neil LaBute’s past films, there is fodder here for a film much less disappointing than this.
