Entertainment Weekly
"Despite its logy, red-herring structure, the film has enough enigma and weirdness that it gradually stirs to life."
United States
New York Post
"Profoundly disturbing" 
United States
The Hollywood Reporter
"Unlikely to inspire a passionate following similar to the original"
United States
Los Angeles Times
"In the end, LaBute's remake is an interesting idea that never transforms into a particularly satisfying movie."
United States
Variety
"Any provocative questions LaBute might have wanted to raise are totally obscured as the rising tide of absurdity gradually overwhelms the entire enterprise." 
United States
SFGATE
"Well intentioned, but only occasionally creepy." 
United States
ReelViews
"LaBute has transformed the eerie, disturbing psychological thriller into an unintentional comedy. At times, 'The Wicker Man' is hilariously bad."
United States
AV Club
"Turns a cultishly creepy classic into a dull and windy farce"
