DVD Review - The Wicker Tree (2011)
30 April 2012 8:15 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Wicker Tree, 2011.
Written and Directed by Robin Hardy.
Starring Graham McTavish, Jacqueline Leonardas, Brittania Nicol, Honeysuckle Weeks, Henry Garrett and Clive Russell.
Synopsis:
Two devout Christians are sent on a mission to spread the word of God to the residents of Tressock in Scotland, where they are invited to take part in a local festival.
Horror is personal. So very, very personal. It’s the best thing and the worst thing about the genre. A horror story that can speak to your darkest fears will bury its images and its message that bit deeper in your memory. By the same token, a horror story full of generic frights and shocks is quickly forgotten, doomed to live out its days in the ‘£3 or Less’ bargain bin. This is why The Wicker Man (1973) is rightly deemed a cult classic, and entirely why I can’t quite remember that one film Eliza Dushku »

Based on Robin Hardy's acclaimed 2006 novel "Cowboys for Christ," The Wicker Tree tells the story of Texas-based singer Beth Boothby (newcomer Brittania Nicol) and her friend Steve Thomson (Henry Garrett), two born-again Christians who come to Scotland to spread the gospel. When their initial efforts are met with disdain and disinterest, they find comfort in an invitation to sing in Tressock, the border fiefdom owned by Sir Lachlan Morrison (Graham McTavish). However, Beth's and Steve's message of personal chastity quickly comes into direct conflict with Tressock's sexual and religious practices, drawing upon ancient Celtic beliefs and rituals. Temptations begin to challenge Beth and Steve -- with the stakes no less than their very lives and souls.

Wicker Man sequel revisits original's murky territory
2 April 2012 3:49 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Wicker Tree has 'jokey bits, sex and a very horrific ending', says returning director Robin Hardy, who admits to schadenfreude at Hollywood remake's failure
Though it was the victim of a takeover at its film company when it was first released in 1973, and earned its director Robin Hardy just £5,000, The Wicker Man has become a cult classic.
The story of a Scottish policeman investigating the disappearance of a girl among a pagan community in the Highlands, it has inspired an academic conference, a musical, several parodies, "singalong" screenings across the country, songs by Pulp and Iron Maiden and a disastrous 2006 remake directed by Neil Labute and starring Nicolas Cage.
In 2010 the Guardian listed it as the fourth greatest horror film of all time. Now, 39 years on, Hardy has released The Wicker Tree, which revisits the territory he explored to such disturbing effect. Having played at some festivals in the Us last year, »
