User Review
It's OK to laugh!
Rating: 8/10
Saw the world premiere of The Wicker Tree @ Fantasia Film Fest 2011 in
Montreal with Robin Hardy in attendance (he actually sat about 6 seats
away). I have not seen The Wicker Man and therefore did not know what
to expect other than some paganism. Just before the movie started Hardy
gave a little primer on the movie and ended by saying "It's OK to
laugh!", which was the last thing I expected. Once the movie started I
realized why he mentioned this, the movie is rife with black humour and
tongue-in- cheek lines about Christianity and more specifically the
ignorance of "born again" Christians. There was still some much
welcomed blood, sex and general weirdness which, coupled with the
constant dark humour, made for a surprisingly (to me) great movie
experience. You definitely do not have to have seen The Wicker Man to
enjoy this movie. All around great acting, great story, great directing
and a great no-loose-ends finish. Definitely recommend this to both
Wicker Man fans and newcomers alike.
8/10
