We thought it’d be interesting to journey back to a time, many issues ago, to when we chatted to Neil LaBute’s about his ‘upcoming’ Nicolas-Cage-starring remake of The Wicker Man, a film that has since become one of the most reviled of the last century. Join us as we turn back the clock…
Gender-baiting controversy magnet Neil LaBute is at it again, remaking cult horror The Wicker Man – with bees, chastity and Nicolas Cage. And this time the villains have breasts.
They’re calling The Wicker Man Neil LaBute’s first horror film. They’re wrong. It’s just his latest. Since the day that one of his early university productions caused an outraged audience member to yell, “Kill the playwright!”
LaBute has been horrifying people for years. Usually those short a Y chromosome.

This movie is Nicholas Cage at his "Cagiest." The film should, in actuality be called "Nick Cage Beats Up Women for Two Hours." On the one hand, it is sad to see this remake because the first one was actually a pretty good movie, but on the other hand it is hilarious to see Nick Cage acting crazy and belligerent. It gets to the point where he punches an woman in the face while dressed as a bear. This movie is a definite watch for anyone who is a fan of Nick Cage's antics. Even despite all of this, this is not the craziest he has ever been on film. http://www.videodetective.com/movies/vampires-kiss/859 This movie beats the Wickerman by a long shot. Nicholas Cage is, simply put, wonderful at being awful.
