Review

"This new Wicker Man is undoubtedly uneven, miscast, and occasionally laughable – but the worst thing about it is that it's too-often inert and dull. Indeed, the sloppiness and incoherence actually increases the air of irrational nightmare: bad dreams being seldom very ‘well-made' in real life. Handsomely mounted, scored (Angelo Badalamenti) and photographed (frequent Atom Egoyan collaborator, and Mr In-Between director Paul Sarossy), at times there's a genuine creepiness about the enterprise that's enough to place it in the ‘interesting failure' section of 2006's horror releases alongside the likes of Silent Hill" - Neil Young, Jigsaw Lounge
