But the couple is not prepared for the frightening consequences of their decision, and the very disturbing secrets they are about to discover about Tressock's seemingly friendly townspeople.

The Wicker Tree is not a horror movie, first and foremost. Secondly, it's not even a good movie, because you don't really find out why you're supposed to watch this. Hardy remakes himself, presents the story anew, but completely tastelessly and without any thought. What he once said he has already said, and he hasn't added anything new with this. Even though the finale looks different, in reality, it's not, and it keeps hammering the same idea. It's just generally bad.

Jesus hates us. Man! I watched the whole thing without skipping. On my part, a resolute NO (though technically it’s quite OK and MAYBE a COUPLE of PEOPLE will like it a little, so one point at least). The original The Wicker Man was 10/10, the remake with Cage was unintentionally funny, I guess, but this one is just meh.
