Review:
'[The Wicker Man is]... one of the scariest films of all time.' The Sunday Times REVIEWS OF THE NEW FILM - this book refers to the 1970s classic. 'Strips away all that was fascinatingly subtextual and deliciously provocative about that unforgettably moody 1973 cult masterpiece, and then pisses on its bare corpse.' TheMovieBoy.com 'A shambolic remake of Robin Hardy's 1973 horror classic... From the heavy-handed nods to the infinitely superior original... to the comical lack of menace or peril, this Wicker Man is a calamity from start to finish.' NEIL SMITH, bbc.co.uk
