The Wicker Man

[James]

No, seriously. They made it super gay. There's a scene where a woman burts into flies or something, and another where the little girl he's looking for vanishes before his eyes.

So it's not a supernatural thriller instead of just a thriller. It's no longer an island full of Heathens, but an island full of demons and evil.

So in other words, once again a remake it made without any of the integrity of the original. I'm sure that sounds like Movie Snob Talk. But really; "Hey, this movie is kind of popular for these reasons. Let's get rid of those reasons and just keep the basic plot. Fill in any holes with flashy effects and jump scares. Oh, and make sure it's as PG-13 as possible!"

The number of GOOD remakes can be counted on one hand. A cartoon character's hand. That's been in a bad table saw accident.
