I am a sucker for horror movies and the trailer for The Wicker Man said that it was the first horror movie of 2007. And I thought to myself, hey, I have to catch this especially since Nicholas Cage is starring in it and I so love that man. Boy, did I make a terrible mistake!
Nick's character, Edward Malus (he's Male, geddit?)'s ex-fiancée, Willow wrote to tell him that her little daughter Rowan has gone missing. Gung-ho Edward goes to SummersIsle to search for the missing girl. The movie starts going downhill after Edward reaches the mysterious island, for the following characters:
a) Willow (Kate Beahan) with her grotesquely collagen-pumped and bee-stung lips -- gross!

b) Sister Rose (Molly Parker in a full-on annoying mode) who teaches all the little girls on the island.

d) Nick in a bear costume -- eeeeeewwww!
In my book, The Wicker Man would have crashed and burned if not for Edward physically abusing Sister Honey (Leelee Sobieski) and another character whose name now eludes me. That scene at least gave me some comfort as I did feel like physically abusing someone after watching the show!

So please take my advice and give this Wicker show a miss....
