As we reach the 50th anniversary of the original folk horror classic, we look back at the 2006 remake to see if it has a shred of credibility.
It really is identical in the framing, but the results are lacking in the nuance, atmosphere, and craft of the original. Cage comes out of this as one of the guiltiest parties for the film’s failure with an overblown performance that may be great for meme-worthy content, but damages this remake’s chances of sincerity.
To compare it to the original is laughable, but unavoidable. This remake does the opposite of pretty much everything Robin Hardy’s film did so well. That wouldn’t be an issue if the 2006 film broke new ground in its differences, but each decision is a bad one in terms of reimagining the original in any worthwhile way.
So in that regard, yes, The Wicker Man is a hot contender for the worst horror remake of all time. It’s got some bad company such as, Psycho, and The Omen, but there’s something particularly offensive about how ignorant of the original The Wicker Man remake is. Where it ended up gaining some credibility was a member of the so bad it’s good club. Taken as its own thing, the jarring atmosphere and dreadful line reads are what make this a memorable experience. So, while it may be a horrific remake of a classic, it’s far from the worst movie you’ll ever watch.
