10 Horror Film Remakes To Avoid

8. The Wicker Man (2006)

Beard of bees? Nicolas Cage in a bear costume? Pass. Gone are the simple sacrificial roles of the King, the Fool etc from the original (and best, obviously), instead replaced by some nonsensical plan involving the women of the Summerisle cult sleeping with aspiring cops years in advance of a harvest potentially going wrong. Yeah. Pass. That said, if you€™re someone who either a) irrationally loves Nicolas Cage or b) likes hate-watching bad movies, then sign yourself up for 1 hour and 42 minutes of meandering weirdness... that somehow feels like 2 hours and 42 minutes of meandering weirdness. Also, if you ever wanted to see Nic Cage punch a lot of women in the face, this is your chance. But you shouldn€™t want that.
