The Wickerman--- SCARY!

Remakes are such a complicated issue. One one hand, it'd be great if there were huge batches of brand new ideas and material. But at the same time, if a movie was made over 20 years ago and was good, odds are that a lot of people haven't seen it, and because most people don't take the time to go back and watch old movies, the only way for them to see the concept in movie form is if it is re-made and re-released. That way it appeals to the mainstream fan, with stars they recognize, updated visuals, and maybe even with changed elements so it has greater relevance.

I think the only problem with remakes (this goes for sequels too), and I agree this has happened in the past, is when the remake(sequel) is poorly made because the powers that be are banking on the well known name. I don't see this as an issue for Wickerman.

Thank you! Even mr. solo's response of ..... is so annoying - people need to just get over themselves and stop putting "original" movies on a pedastal.

just watch the movie, dangit!! Wickerman is going to be scary and im sticking to it!

Two days to go, and this remake still has no advance reviews. Is it not being screened?
I smell a hunk of crap on the horizon - even if it has been directed by Neil Labute.

I really didn't like the original. I was expecting a far more scarier cult like film out of it. The musical scenes annoyed the hell out of me.

I've only seen the orginal and i didn't find it scary but i'm going to see this when it comes out in englandf hopefully it will be good as the preview vid looked class

Well, the first reviews are posted at Rotten Tomatoes. 17% approval so far - the common observance of critics is this remake plays as an unintentional comedy! 😂

One reviewer today on television said he wished the negatives of this remake movie went missing.

i just saw this movie and it's one of the few movies ive seen in the last month or two that i really liked. i don't think it qualifies as a scary movie really, but it was very goooooood. i dont know why u guys dont like it......

this is the dumbest movie ever!!!

y do u guys think it's so dumb

It's one of many unneccessary remakes out there these days. I have no interest in watching it.

I love how this is said when many of the people don't even like the original.

I've seen the original, and watched the remake again today. I enjoyed it. Some of you have your heads up your asses. Not every movie is going to be a classic.

The Wicker Man remake is ok. Nothing on the original but still a decent way to pass time IMO.

Okay? it's one horrendous piece of crap. Glad I didn't spend money on it.

Doesn't matter if it is nowhere near a classic, it's right down near the worst movies ever made list. Not even decent to 'pass the time'.

Compilation of scenes from the remake taken out of context. One of the funniest things I've seen.

What a wimp... has to use a gun to take a bicycle off someone...

I don't remember the bees in the face hat thingy scene?

Yeah, I think it was a deleted scene.

It was in the Unrated version. Thats a good scene. Nothing wrong with it.
