A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I don't get the hate for this movie, because I think a lot of the stuff in it is supposed to be funny, and I found it hilarious. The bike and the bear suit were just classic. I mean, people hate this movie but they talk about it a lot, and I think that says something for the movie. You remember it, and I think that's because it was actually made really well. It's always a good laugh for me. Just don't try and take it too seriously.

After seeing the original with Christopher Lee, never in my wildest nightmares did I think such a remake could even make it out of the editing room. This is not just bad, it is murder of the first degree of a wonderful earlier version. Sure the story is fanciful, but the original at least MOVED, the actors had PRESENCE, the ending was shocking not hysterical. How the mighty Cage has fallen. I really do love Cage as an actor - I think he is talented. But what in the name of all that is holy is responsible for his bumbling, shrieking, over acting, drooling performance here? Did he owe Lucifer something? This is BAD. REALLY, REALLY, REALLY BAD. So bad I almost died laughing at the absurdity of the the trainwreck on the screen. Good God Nicolas, come on!!! Take some time off and remember the days where your talent actually won you a well deserved Oscar. Please do not EVER utter these phrases on screen: "How did it get burned? How did it get burneddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd?" and the immortal "Not he beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!" Finally, what the hell is Ellen Burstyn doing in this, one of the finest actresses of all time? Did she kill scads of bees and had to atone for it by appearing in this mess?

A sheriff investigating the disappearance of a young girl from a small island discovers there's a larger mystery to solve among the island's secretive, neo-pagan community. Packed with a terrible perfomance from Nicolas Cage in the main role, ridiculous lines and an ending that has more facepalms than anything this remake is a waste of time, talent and most of all money. (0/10)

Dreadful..... Nicholas should put in a " Cage forever " and made to look at the original, as a punishment. Incredible that this film was ever made, and somehow it got released.Yes check out the British 1973 classic yourself,it is well worth the effort.A true horror film for genuine fans.
