Plot: A young child has gone missing and it's up to a haunted but determined policeman to travel to the remote island community where she was last seen and solve the lingering mystery of her disappearance in director Neil LaBute's updated reworking of Anthony Shaffer's 1973 cult horror classic. Upon receiving a letter from his one-time fiancée, Willow (Kate Beahan), imploring him to search for her missing daughter on the secluded island of Summersisle, Policeman Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage) quickly makes his way to the island to locate the girl and seek an answer as to why Willow suddenly and inexplicably disappeared shortly before their wedding date. Once there, Malus is troubled to discover that although there are traces of the child to be found in such locations as the local schoolhouse, the residents of Summersisle seem reluctant to offer any specific details as to the girl's apparent death. His investigation effectively stalled by the highly secretive Wiccan community, Sheriff Malus soon discovers that there are still some cultures that have their own unique beliefs about humankind's relationship with Mother Earth, and refuse to adapt to the rules of modern society. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Utterly Appalling

This is quite possibly the worst film I have ever seen. It is an insult to the original movie, but even were it to stand alone it could only be described as meandering, trite and totally incredible. What on earth were the directors and producers thinking of?
The movie flits between stealing sequences and lines verbatim from the original and introducing utterly pointless, meaningless sequences that have nothing to do with the original story. The directing, acting and bizarre distortions of the storyline combine to turn every scene into a complete mess. Cage's acting is always crap, but William Shatner could have done a better job of this.
Lazy, cheap and nasty. Watch the original classic British horror film - it's great, but don't waste your time or money on this truly awful drivel. Drying paint is more captivating.

Good Movie, review from a Film Directors View.

I cannot believe the Horrible Reviews this movie is getting on here, I had to laugh out loud in Disbelief haha! I honestly feel there Feminist on here that are marking these NEgative Reviews. Because of the Scene where cage assualted certain females in a move to free himself of the madness. He punched 3 females, so what? It was required for the scene. Get over it.

I thought his acting fit the role he was suppose to portray. Yes I will agree if you do not have an open mind the movie will come off kind of Bizzare to you. But you have to put yourself into this situation of being trapped in a cult community and discovering that you cannot escape. SO u feminist groups need to chill out and stop bashing this film.

With that said, I find this movie, Strange, Creepy and it will keep your eyes glued to the screen at the same time. NO it is not the best work ive seen but it is a GOOD Movie to own when u wanna frighten someone with an open mind. 5 stars!

why all the negative reviews?
Added 12/20/2009

I had to double check the version of this movie that I own after seeing the overwhelmingly negative reviews on Amazon. Yep, this is the right version with Nick Cage etc. I realize I am a minority here, but I enjoyed the movie--not the best I have every seen but FAR from being the worst, as many reviewers claim. I never saw the original, so I had nothing to compare it to. I found the plot to be somewhat predictable, although the ending did have a twist to it. The acting was average; I have never thought of Cage as being a "good" actor, but he does OK. The plot and acting were not THAT bad, seriously. The island scenery was beautiful. The bee keeping/feminist/goddess/sacrifice aspect was a bit of a off, but not to the point where I could not enjoy the movie. I don't know why there are so many reviews absolutely trashing this movie, I would encourage anyone to give it a chance.
