Bad Films In Good Company

If you were asked to make a list of films that shouldn’t be remade, 70s horror classic The Wicker Man is likely to figure quite highly. In 2006, however, Neil LaBute decided to do just that. Transplanting the story to America, he casts Nicolas Cage as a conflicted copper investing the disappearance of a girl who may, or may not, be his daughter (SPOILERS: it is), from a remote, matriarchal society. What could possibly go wrong? Critical and commercial catastrophe, that’s what. Time to strap in and see whether LaBute and Cage have slaughtered a sacred cow. But what kind of performance will Nic Cage employ? How fast is Christopher Lee spinning in his grave? And will this film put you off eating honey? Join us as we dance around the maypole to see if this remake makes you dance in your pants, or want to sit in a Habitat chair and self-immolate.
