I saw this film was due to be released in UK 1st September and couldn't wait cos i loved the original film and i LOVE Nicholas Cage i think hes got a gorgeous accent, anyway i digress, i saw it advertised for 3 morning showings at our local Odeon but could'nt go so waited to see if it was on the following week at nighttime and since then they have not shown it at all!Has the film been a big flop or something only i was really looking forward to seeing it, i can't understand why they advertised it for ages and then only showed it 3 times, other films like Pirates of Carribbean has been going on for weeks.Is it worth buying when it comes out on DVD?Cheers

I saw it in the theater, and I was a little disappointed at the ending. But then, I never saw the original.

The original was good - voted one of the top cult films of all time
It was a slightly disturbing story (esp. the ending!) ... details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wicker_Man

Yes i loved the first version shame its not on tv often looks like will have to wait for the new one to come out on dvd - nicholas cage is much nicer on the eye than edward woodward!

I've seen the original, it is an interesting contrast between conservatism Christianity, and liberal Paganism. Amazon has many reviews for both the current film (unfortunately not well liked), and the original (liked fairly well).

The original was a great film although not sure whether the new remake would be an improvement.
It is rather disturbing in parts but I enjoyed it.
