The Wicker Man
has a few good ideas and a great last act, but everything that comes before it is essentially disposable."

CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
3.5/4
"Like many of the best horror/thrillers,
The Wicker Man
works because it surprises audiences, relying on carefully-nurtured suspense rather than cheap, theatrical shocks."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
3.5/5
"They deliberately cast horror icons to help them break the mold... if you keep in mind its original context, it can be a very interesting film."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
4/5
"An astoundingly successful horror film."

."
