The Wicker Man
Nic Cage plays an emotionally fragile California cop who, after receiving a distressing phonecall from his ex, ends up on a remote island, searching for a missing girl. The locals are under the sway of pagan priestess Ellen Burstyn, and the atmosphere is decidedly frosty, as Cage's character slowly discovers the real reason for his presence there. Neil LaBute's remake of the cult 1972 horror is undoubtedly sytlish and ambitious, and features an eerie score from Angelo Badalamenti, yet somehow it fails to deliver the shock and menace of the original. Frances Conroy, Leelee Sobieski and Kate Beahan also star.
