Ronnie Scheib Variety Rather likable. Jan 31, 2012 Full Review Andy Webster New York Times "The Wicker Tree" does manage to leave you with a haunted, agreeable unease. Rated: 3/5 Jan 28, 2012 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out A hee-haw slam on ugly Americanism, a vast reduction of the original's notion of unraveling civilization. Rated: 2/5 Jan 24, 2012 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Despite any behind-the-scenes continuity from the original, this prequel falls very far from the tree of the source material. Rated: 2/5 Sep 24, 2023 Full Review Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See It is quite, quite terrible. Rated: D Jul 13, 2020 Full Review Clay Cane BET.com A gumbo of foolishness.

Josh A This isn't as bad as everyone says it is. At least, I didn't think it was. When you separate it from The Wicker Man and see it as its own thing, its a fun horror movie. Because that's kinda what it is. It's like Hot Fuzz: it's a spiritual sequel to its predecessor, not a full on sequel. Not that I'm saying this is anywhere near as good as Hot Fuzz. The plot is simple: two Americans go to Scotland to preach. This is basically the American version of the Wicker Man, even though there already is one. It feels less unique and more generic, but it's still an alright and decently entertaining movie. Better than the remake at least. There's also similarities to The Wicker Man. It's still about paganism and a Scottish island with pagans on it, but it's also directly similar. For instance, in the original, the main character gets burnt in a wicker statue. In this one, the cult leader gets burnt along with a wicker statue. It also just feels similar in style. Overall, it's a solid movie. Not amazing, but not awful. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review John U This film was a total cluster , I watched it thru like passing a wicked car wreck. The acting was simply horrible , plot thin and fragmented . The only reason I stuck with it was the Scottish scenery and even that was a strain. This is possibly the worst film I ever laid eyes on and I have suffered thru several........ Do not waste your time on this turd !!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know how Robin Hardy could make a masterpiece like The Wicker Man and then make this. I watched this wondering why Hardy hasn't made any other films after this movie, and when I watched this, I went "yea that makes sense." Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Utterly Utterly Execrable Bring back Christopher Lee & Edward Woodward Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Andy J Decent movie - builds tension. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/21 Full Review Audience Member a film so bad and ridiculous and you can't like it, because it's not a movie that many people like. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
