The Wicker Tree

This was so bad that I could not bear to watch it. Perhaps the most unconvincing acting I've ever seen. To say it was wooden insults wood!

I always keep an open mind and generally don't trust reviews on here. However, this really is as bad as the reviews say. It shouldn't be allowed to be associated with the fantastic Wickerman. The script is awful, the acting is awful, the overall film quality is awful and no-one seems to stick to the same accent for more than 2 minutes. Oh and did I mention it's awful? Actually, you probably should watch this just to see how bad it is. It makes the Nicholas Cage version look like the Godfather...

Absolute & complete utter rubbish, bad acting , bad script, don t waste your time !!!! Can't think of one thing good to say about it, glad the fast forward function worked!!

In short: why bother? Yes, the original Wicker Man was a classic. Yes, the remake was completely pointless (and that’s being kind). So… here we have a (semi) sequel to the original Wicker Man. And, if you look closely at the promotional material, you’ll notice that it even has good ol’ Christopher Lee in it. So, it must be good… right? Wrong. The first thing you should know is that Christopher Lee’s ‘input’ is literally less than a minute long. The film is almost a remake (in as much as there’s nothing new in the story, so it’s basically a retread of the old version). Two American Christians come to a small village on the Scotland/England border to help spread the word of God. If you’ve seen either of the Wicker Man films you’ll know what happens. If you haven’t, you’ll probably guess. The acting is poor all round, some of it bordering on comedy. The ‘horror’ is lacking. No gore here and the ‘traumatic’ scenes from the original are not even nearly repeated here. Simply don’t bother with this. It adds nothing to the original except to cash in on its reputation. Even if you haven’t seen the original, don’t expect an interesting horror film here. Just don’t bother. Did I mention it’s not that good?

This is a terrible sequel that, by hinting back to the original, only serves to remind you that it is terrible. It got one star because there was a hot man in it.
