Horror has a new name -- and that name is "wicker". Once used almost exclusively in the construction of baskets and attractive outdoor furniture, wicker will now and forever after be synonymous with a terror that will chill your blood and torment your mind! (Though admittedly a certain small percentage of people, rather than associating it with terror, will continue to think of their grandma's patio set. There's nothing you can do about these intractable folks but throw your hands in the air and just give up trying to change their minds where wicker is concerned.) Yes, "Wicker Man" dares to depict a nightmarish world in which Nicolas Cage punches a woman in the face so that he can steal her bear costume. And this after having stolen at gunpoint a bike belonging to a woman dressed as a magpie and then going on to knock out Leelee Sobieski by kicking her in the breadbasket. If this doesn't sound scary, may I remind you that there's WICKER! Neil LaBute has done the impossible by making the most unintentionally funny movie since "The Lake House". With such rich fare it would be unthinkable not to let Kevin Murphy in on the fun. And so we did! Kevin and Mike couldn't have had a better time with "The Wicker Man" if he'd been made of rattan! This RiffTrax was made for the UNRATED version of the movie.

Aug 21, 2007 - That's an illogical argument, every country produces crap. Why are you singling us out with this one movie?

Aug 28, 2007 - Attaching an ego of nationalist superiority to a box office flop is kinda weird.

Aug 11, 2008 - Kinda funny, thought the stingray piercing the heart comment was a tad tacky :\

Aug 15, 2008 - Jesus, that stingray comment was really cold...

Oct 23, 2008 - Sounds like someone has an inferiority complex, but to answer your question: yes, I knew this was a remake. Yes, I've seen the original, which is far better than this terrible remake. As far as stupidity goes, you can't rate it by country, but if you really want to make an issue of it, the UK is considered to be about as stupid as people in the US by the rest of the world, while Asian countries are considered to be the most intelligent. Poor rationale IMHO, so I pay no attention to such things.

Jul 5, 2009 - If you haven't seen the original 1970's Wickerman, you probably should. Great movie.
Licreh Says:
Oct 29, 2009 - Steve Irwin knew his profession was dangerous. His death wasn't the first time he was near deadly animals. I don't think the joke's at all inappropriate.
Magnolia296 Says:
Mar 10, 2010 - The Wicker Man (2006) was boring and absolutely useless remake of classic The Wicker Man (1973). Even great and talented Nicolas Cage looked stupid in this film. Year, best films were in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Modern Hpllywood crap is useless remakes, awful sequels and rip offs. No class at all
. . . . . . . because these video appear directly from youtube.com which we cannot control it.)
