The Wicker Man Blu-ray

The Wicker Man Blu-ray Review


Watched it last night and wanted to confirm that the PQ was awesome, really really good. I dont think I ever saw one piece of grain

However, something that was strage to me, its the unrated version, which I believe is the only one on blu-ray.

It says on the front "contains alternate ending not seen in theaters"

well all be damn if it doesnt contain the original!!

I mean shit, I never seen the movie period, you'd think they would include the original ending as well, atleast in the extras... Id like to know the original ending is without renting the reg dvd~!

As far as topic discussion goes, besides the obvious of me informing you it has great PQ... is that, Are there any other Blu's that take you for a swerve like this? Anything in particular that just made you think WHY? The hell did they do that!??

Not to ruin it for you...

Unrelated.. if you liked the movie at all check out the one from the 70's. More believable.

I've avoided seeing the remake given the reviews and the general pointlessness of remaking a classic, but the original is a superb and genuinely scary movie. I'd strongly advise checking it out.

As for the spoiler - maybe this depends what side of the Atlantic you live one, but over here, everybody knows the ending of the Wicker Man (the clue is in the title - it even has a still of it on the DVD cover!), even if they haven't seen it, same as they know the ending of King Kong.

If it makes you feel better....the movie isn't ruined by knowing this spoiler...the movie itself is a complete hot mess of a failure and is ruined before you even get to the end spoiler.

Seriously, it's unbelievable how stupid some people can be when it comes to movies and spoilers.

Oh, as for your question, maybe The Prestige. It's a good one that causes a lot of debate (b/c of what happens) and Memento is another one. The Usual Suspects is probably along that line. Maybe, to a certain extent, Gothika or The Manchurian Candidate or Swordfish or Total Recall?

Well yeah, I saw that one, thats the ending it shows, it doesnt show the original ending though, the one from theaters... which didnt make sense to methat it wasnt even in the extras (usually alternate endings are ALWAYS in the extras.)

Personally , i think if youre gonna see this film,,rather treat yourself and watch the original one

[kernel_thai]

Never seen the remake but the original is one my guilty pleasures. I have the one in the wooden box. The scene with Britt Eklund doing her little dance is worth the price alone.

A couple of days ago, I rented the Nic Cage version of The Wicker Man on DVD. From start to finish, it was - hands down - the worst piece of crap I have ever seen in my entire life! Man, was I ever so glad that I didn't buy the damn movie! But I have to ask, who here on Blu-ray.com has actually bought The Wicker Man on Blu-ray and do you regret ever buying it? Although I'm 100% sure that the average person would regret ever buying it, let alone renting the movie!

I own it and regret it. By far the worst movie I ever bought. I got it in a BOGO deal a long time ago, watched it once and never will again.

As a fan of the original I followed this one closely, and knew what a pile of crap it was right away and safely avoided it.

[I KEEL YOU]

Does anyone know how the Japanese/Australian Sony release of this compares to the North American Warner release? I'm thinking about picking up this movie to compliment my Troll 2 blu ray.

The picture quality for the Warner release seems to be mediocre looking at the review.

all I want to know is when will the original be releases

Stuck in unfortunate limbo -- at least for the original cut. Someone needs to go to UCLA and investigate their collection, though, as it seems Roger Corman donated his collection which may very well include the original cut in 35mm (it's listed online, and he almost distributed it in the US).
