I have to spoil something - this is my attempt to rewrite a (very... uniquely written movie only saved by the presence of St. Nicolas Cage, peoples hero) as a genuinely scary story. If it had been a hundred percent original creation, I'd be more likely to actually explore the identity of the people involved - and they'd be the heroes. In the movie, the little girl escapes and Nic ascends to the heavens on Wings of Fire!... By which I mean he is burned alive. :P

Though I can't recommend the 2006 Wicker Man save for Nicolas Cage, who is clearly enjoying himself - the dialogue is spartan, if you're like me you'll be rooting for the 'villains', and some scenes make you wonder if the director didn't suffer from some issues - the original is genuinely creepy, though I wouldn't recommend it either; it moves slowly and also has some unique choices... On the plus side, Christopher Lee. Why aren't Nicloas Cage and Christopher Lee in a movie together? Are they? They should be. Anyway - thank you for the wonderfully in-depth review! I truly appreciate it!
