did anybody see wickerman?

That was out awhile back with Nicholas Cage? I just saw it in the cheap theaters last night found it kinda interesting. Kudos to the director for allowing Cage to punch a woman out and kick another woman in the face.

My girlfriend found it hilarious.

Sadly that was about all I liked about the movie. The original, given its release date, was far more suspenseful to me. This was was just too weird and awkward.

Worst movie ever. OK, not ever. It built suspense nicely and just f-ing died in the end. And yea, the only good part was Cage kicking/punching the ladies.

That was a seriously scary and disturbing movie - even with Edward Woodward in it

Why does Hollywood (and Steve Martin in particular) insist on remaking everything ?

i liked the movie, i was actually expecting a lot worse, i wonder how the remake is and i was also suprised to see leelee sobeski in the movie, haven't seen her do much lately movie-wise and yeah it did have it's hilarious moments sometimes, also i'm not a huge fan of cage, but he does semi-ok for the most part, btw when was the original released?

I saw it with my wife and we both agreed that it was the worst movie we had seen in a long while. Terrible.

I just read the synopsis of the remake and it sounds like they did the original wrong. The best thing about the original is the "virgin" twist.


Otherwise, I thought the original was pretty entertaining, but certainly not the "sixth best" British film ever made, as some poll on Wikipedia suggests. I also found the whole Christopher Lee pagan-dancing-around-the-maypole stuff especially annoying.
