- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Despite its logy, red-herring structure, the film has enough enigma and weirdness that it gradually stirs to life."
-
"Unlikely to inspire a passionate following similar to the original"
-
"In the end, LaBute's remake is an interesting idea that never transforms into a particularly satisfying movie."
-
"LaBute has transformed the eerie, disturbing psychological thriller into an unintentional comedy. At times, 'The Wicker Man' is hilariously bad."
-
"Turns a cultishly creepy classic into a dull and windy farce"
