Overview
Director Robin Hardy's reimagining of his eerie 1973 film, The Wicker Man. Young Christians Beth and Steve, a gospel singer and her cowboy boyfriend, leave Texas to preach door-to-door in Scotland. When, after initial abuse, they are welcomed with joy and elation to Tressock, the border fiefdom of Sir Lachlan Morrison, they assume their hosts simply want to hear more about Jesus. How innocent and wrong they are.

"The Wicker Tree" does manage to leave you with a haunted, agreeable unease.
Andy Webster, New York Times
Rotten
A hee-haw slam on ugly Americanism, a vast reduction of the original's notion of unraveling civilization.
Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
