  I don't get it. Someone's remade a classic film as an action film starring Nicholas Cage. If I hadn't known that the Wickerman had an original ... read more »

  Lazy Rubbish
  
  As a fan of the original I was curious to see this remake.
  
  I'm glad I watched it as it just shows what a masterpiece the first one was.
