Beth and Steve, a gospel singer and her cowboy boyfriend, both Christian members of a no-sex-before-marriage pact they call 'the silver ring thing', 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 the sinister Lachlan Morrison, they assume their hosts want to simply hear more about Jesus. How innocent and wrong they are.
The Wicker Tree reunites director Robin Hardy with legendary actor Christopher Lee, for a story "in the style of" the 1973 film. Keep in mind this is NOT a direct sequel, but it does explore similar themes.

Wouldn't know, never saw it and have no intention of ever doing so, but this film still sounds horrible regardless.

The remake is pretty much 90% dead-on with the original, there's just no real shock when the ending comes, since that was the purpose of the whole film, get to the ending. A lot of praise was also heaped on Lee's acting ability, which seemed about right for what he's done in the past.
