"The Wicker Man"

Hey, I finally got around to seeing the Wicker Man, and it wasn't as bad as some of you lead me to believe.

It was really twisted, and Edward Woodward went around being a right prude.

I was actually surprised by the little twist at the end, I didn't see it coming at all.

Some of the songs were a bit dodgy though!

Horror movies date faster than any other genre.

I've seen the Wicker Man, but both The Exoricst and th Wicker Man aren't scary. Trust me, it's just some old special effects and it's not good quality of horror, like old movies, but I just laugh at it.

Mind you, Goatboy, didn't you see it right after that documentary, which really built it up to be a cult classic?

I saw it a few months after you gave it a bit of a hammering, so where your expectations were probably high, mine were really quite low.

Can't say I've seen that.

That award goes to Hellraiser.

I liked it. My mate bought it on DVD when the Special Edition was released about a month back. It deserves its label as best of British horror. But, admittedly, it does have someone who I know best as Dracula and now Saruman in a fairy-dress.

Here's something that will make you cringe - Nicholas Cage is looking into a remake. Scary.

Christopher Lee bad replacement: Burn him.
Cage: Oh...err....mumble...I'll say this line in a really soft voice so no-one can hear me.

Fair enough.

Yep, that's pretty much it, only I thought it was worth watching.

The Wicker Man: Abridged

"Hello,I'm Edward Woodwoodwood, a repressed Scottish policeman. God is great"
"Hello,I'm Christopher Lee. In a dress."
"I'm Britt Ekland. I dance naked later except it's not really me"
"God is great"
"We don't like outsiders"
"Where is the girl?"
"Go away Policeman"
"God is great"
"I'm Christopher Lee, now I will sing and wear a dress"
"Heathens!"
"Hey Christopher Lee, our apples are rubbish this year"
"Let's burn the Policeman!"
"God is great and you are all heathens. And who is leaving dead rabbits in my slippers?"
"Burn the Policeman!"
"Oh Christ! I didn't expect a bunch of hostile pagans to do this! No Sir!"
"Hello, I'm Christopher Lee, let us sing some more and maybe dance naked"

Dreadful film.
