4. The Wicker Tree (2010)
It's A Half-Assed Sequel To... The Wicker Man (1973) Billed as a companion piece to Robin Hardy's seminal British horror
The Wicker Man, this movie (also directed by Robin Hardy) is actually the second in a loose trilogy, the third of which is yet to be released. Back in 2002, Christopher Lee, who starred in the original, was even in talks to reunite with Hardy for this movie that nobody in the world had been waiting for, but eventually declined, presumably because he read the script and went into hospital. Bleak in the same way as its predecessor but about eighty times worse, Hardy's film is actually based on his own novel,
Cowboys For Christ, and concerns two douchebags who go around preaching abstinence and Christianity to anybody in earshot. The film went through several titular changes, including
The Riding of the Laddie,
May Day, and
Cowboys for Christ, before Hardy eventually settled on
The Wicker Tree, though he should have called it
Half-Assed Wicker Man Sequel.
