A sheriff investigating the disappearance of a young girl from a small island discovers there's a larger mystery to solve among the island's secretive, neo-pagan community.

Puzzlingly misguided, Neil LaBute's update The Wicker Man struggles against unintentional comedy and fails.

'The Wicker Man' remake is a disastrous failure that destroys the original's brilliance. While the cinematography stands out as gorgeous and otherworldly, nearly everything else disappoints. The film suffers from terrible acting, nonsensical writing, illogical plot progression, and excruciatingly slow pacing. Reviewers found it tedious, unwatchable, and completely lacking suspense. The adaptation was deemed unnecessary and misguided, with director Neil LaBute failing to understand the source material or thriller genre.
