The Wicker Man.End 1973-2006

Dude... The first ending of the first movie was horribly amazingly terrifying.

[AodhBheagan]

The re-make is complete garbage!

[JamesHoganable]

lol

TulseLuper got it spot on.

I tend to like Cage's movies but TWM remake just stank. It wasn't just Cage tho, there's plenty of VERY GOOD actors/actresses in TWM remake but they all seemed to suck in it None of them come close to Woodward. He was a lovely guy too.

BTW somethin funny. I remembr reading that the original wicker man was set in summer but had to be shot nearer to winter so to avoid the actors breaths showing on camera, they all had to suck on ice cubes between takes. Fair play to them

So If I get this right the remake has lost the whole religious point of view? Is Cage's character a Christian?

[uayfb1]

@MissMael No, he's not.

why is the broken leg part always edited out?

[Blogofanclub]

@terrenceh77 :-D what do you mean, was there a broken leg part in the 1973 version?

[TulseLuper]

Proof that horror direction can't be ham-fisted like that. The reveal of the wicker man itself in the original is as chilling as anything I've ever seen because it's so delicate and restrained. All the horror is filtered through Woodward's fantastic performance. But the remake might as well have neon signs around its wicker man saying, "Boo!" Also the original is actually about something whereas the remake is just a bad episode of The Twilight Zone. When will Hollywood understand this?

[TheAntiPleb]

Why would anyone remake a film of such incredible quality?

Again and again the stupidity and greed of Hollywood astounds me.

[Rokyku]

Yeh I defo agree! Also if they could get actual fans along side production of movie sbased on games then they would suck a lot less!

[gb42760ad1972]

Interesting comparison. Good job. I liked how the wicker man looked in the re-make, but that was all I liked about it. The original is a masterpiece, the remake is carp. If ya know what I mean.

[Chrono355]

I'd rather not have that annoying christian guy.

Nicholas Cage IS AWESOME

OH GAWD NOT THE BEEES

[digitizer]

your an idiot. He added so much power to the movie because it was christianity vs paganism. Despite Nic being the greatest actor in the universe, he just yelled bloody murder the whole time.

[chris371]

At least he punched some bitches in the face.

[WLPowell]

That he did...

1973 version - Good. 2006 remake - Poor.
