I started watching this one night while out of town on HBO. I didn't see the 2nd half of the movie, so rented it to finish. I was better off just wondering how it ended. It built to a climax, then nothing. When the credits started rolling, I was sitting there thinking what a waste of my time to have rented this! With the cast of actors, it could have been so much better! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

I've never seen the original, so I don't know how good or awful it is. The problem with remakes is that not all movies should be REMADE. I think a movie should be remade if newer special effects add to the overall plot, the original story is still relevant to the current generation, etc. With that said, there was no Hitchcock-like twist or any message that was relayed to the viewer. The movie was extremely boring and Nick's lines were over the top. Anyone who's watched movies over the last 5-10 years could have guessed the ending about 30 minutes into the movie. Someone compared this to "The Village", but I would wholeheartedly disagree....better plot, better acting. Take my advice and pass on this one. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL?

Read More What COULD have been an interesting role for Cage, went down hill real fast after he donned the bear suit. And by the way..what was Ellen Burstyn thinking?!! I'm looking to see the original from 1975 with Christopher Lee however that most DID seem to like - this starts out okay and just slides fast into a big P - U.

Read More This was not only the most effective part of the original, but also what made his Christian faith so relevant. As the pagans were about to burn him in the Wicker Man, Malus declared (in the original version), I know Christ our Lord. If I die I will know life eternal or something to that effect. Christopher Lee then responds with the words, Then we bestow on you a rare gift these days; martyrdom. You will sit with the saint in heaven. Now this is brought up because the remake replaces this dialogue Malus crying God no, God no God no,The lord of Summerville Isle then says, We make you a martyr. You will sit with the gods and goddesses. Such an absurd remark reflects how important Malus faith was to the original, and how inane the idea of martyrdom without Christ truly i Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
