Wicker Man, The Review

Wicker Man, The came out in 1973 and was directed by the ever-stumpy Robin Hardy. We have used science (and possibly the box cover) to determine that this movie fits perfectly into the "Mystery Horror" genre.

During the time we had our polls open, 411 engorged viewers just like you weighed in on Wicker Man, The. 297 of 'em thought it was great! 114 thought it was shit. Takes all kinds.

This is a Dave and Jim's B-Movie Review. This review was written some time between 1996 and 2001. Once you've sucked the marrow from this one, you can head back to the full list to pick another review for savoring. Do it again and again.

Dave's Review

You know it's pretty awesome when Britt Ekland starts dancing around her room stark naked. The only downside is that we went into this movie blind. From the title and cover art alone, we were hoping it was going to be some crazy indie art-house horror movie about some guy made of wicker who goes around killing shit. So we were bound to be a little disappointed. In the end, though, it's a badass movie with some great ass.

Dave broke it down like so: Technology: 1 Action: 7 Nudity: 9 Coolness: 8 Badguys: 7 Gore: 4 Shock: 7 Dialog: 5 Post-Nuke?: Nay Music: 7 Plot: 8 Length: Short Overall: 8
