The Wicker Man
2006 · TMDB 4.3
Directed by Neil LaBute
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.
Why it matters
Nicolas Cage plays a sheriff who investigates a disappearance on a remote island, only to uncover a neo-pagan conspiracy. LaBute's remake strips the original's folk horror of its ambiguity, replacing it with overwrought theatrics.
