RE: Movie Review: The Wicker Man (1973)

LOL! I can totally see that too honestly, and well said. The big advantage this had for me, to help it overcome what it certainly does lack in execution, was the arbitrary fortune of its vintage and my interest in old architecture and old interpretations of cultures…as a sneak peak into someone’s version of a modern pagan culture, fairly cool even if it is a bit contrived, which it certainly is (like the chick with the egg or whatever in the cemetery). As a murder mystery/suspense, no I agree I am not seeing that at all. Honestly that is a much more concise and effective way of saying what I was trying so desperately to say about it in the post. It’s not suspenseful or scary, but an interesting account of another culture, with the high likelihood of pure speculative fiction 🤣

ok ok, you had a particular reason to enjoy this one -jajaja- i feel you. BTW i saw there is a remake with Nick Cage and the critics destroyed the movie. I don think i'll be watching that one any time soon XD
