Despite any behind-the-scenes continuity from the original, this prequel falls very far from the tree of the source material.

It is quite, quite terrible.

A gumbo of foolishness.

Full Review | Original Score: D- | Dec 7, 2012

This horror dud features some of the worst acting since you saw that community theater production of "Lil Abner." I saw you there, don't deny it.

Almost as terrible as The Wicker Man (1973) is excellent. (Almost.)

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | May 2, 2012

Not good enough to be scary and not bad enough to be good.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Feb 9, 2012

The askew approach of The Wicker Tree is admittedly curious, rendering the movie more dumbfounding than disastrous.

Full Review | Original Score: C- | Feb 4, 2012

Rather likable.

It's redeemed somewhat by some decent laughs, only a fraction of which are intentional.

"The Wicker Tree" does manage to leave you with a haunted, agreeable unease.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 28, 2012

A hee-haw slam on ugly Americanism, a vast reduction of the original's notion of unraveling civilization.

Honeysuckle Weeks has an enjoyable subtitled sex scene.

With The Wicker Tree, Hardy may have sired a long-awaited second film - but it only leaves the impression that The Wicker Man had better remained a single child whose brilliance could be untainted by the presence of inferior siblings.

This slack and rather pointless retread is funnier than the original though not at all scary as it trundles towards its predictable conclusion.
