We should probably get this out of the way first; 2006’s The Wicker Man is awful. It’s comfortably one of the worst remakes there’s ever going to be, and the tone veers so wildly all over the place from scene to scene that first-time viewers may be left wondering what the hell is supposed to be going on. However, was that the point all along?
When the new spin on the 1973 classic was first unleashed upon the unsuspecting masses, nobody was sure what to make of it, besides the fact it was horrendously bad. Shunned by critics, ignored by audiences, and nominated for five Razzies doesn’t sound like the reputation befitting of cinematic excellence, but the actual merits of The Wicker Man are entirely dependent on whether or not you want to believe Nicolas Cage.
