Wickerman theme done much better in other movies.

Rating: 4/10 (30 January 2020)

This same theme has been done much better in several other movies.
For one thing it's two and a half hours long! That's at least one hour too many. I'd rather waste just an hour and a half of my life on a poor movie rather then two and half hours. In fact the movie might have been just ok if it was a reasonable length. The director stretches out too many scenes just a bit too long so just as you're ready to bail it moves on, so you keep watching.
There's a whole 30 minute beginning involving Pugh's character that's basically irrelevant to the main plot although I'm sure the director uses it as a reason for her to hang around when anyone else with any sense would leave.
This is one of those frustrating movies where you keep hoping the heroes come to their senses and get some payback on the evil doers. But it never happens.
It's also one of those movies where in real life the characters would have been long gone the minute after the first violent scene rather then hanging around.
