Title: a train wreak of a film that should have been buried under a motorway
Product review: Being a fan of the brilliant original film from 1973, I came to this one already skeptical, but I thought if anyone could pull it off Nick might be able to.Sadly this film falls way short of its predecessor, and like the misfortune of the original, were in 368 cans of raw location footage had been destroyed (according to the famous rumour it was used as landfill in the nearby M3 motorway, this film would be far better served had all of it been buried and lost.Bees and honey replace the famous Summer Isle apples,Lord Summerisle becomes a lady (not a harrowing change but still) Willow becomes Sgt Howie's ex wife rather than the land lords daughter, and any pagan references are horribly contrived and Hollywood artifices wherein the original the references were closely drawn from actual pagan rites and rituals.The subtlety of the horror evolves slowly in the original film, but is pounded like a sledgehammer in this remake
