See, The Beart Suit IS Funny
A ha! As I suspected and
have written about from the very start. When it comes to "The Wicker Man" Neil LaBute does have a sense of humor.
"Q: The film has a very offbeat and surreal sense of humor, much as the original did, and it was kind of surprising to see that a lot of critics didn't get that.
"A: The hardest thing is reading reviews and having people tell you what you were thinking — like people saying, 'This is unintentional.' How does someone know what I meant? I do think we made a bit of a misstep in marketing. Folks said, 'I don't know what you have here, but I know it makes me nervous.' So it was basically sold as a horror film. Not that horror films can't have humor in them, but not usually of the nature that we have. I mean, I'm not crazy. When I put Nic Cage in a bear suit, I know there's some potential for humor there! [Laughs.] I know that when he says, 'Step away from the vehicle," and he's talking about a bike, that's okay. That allows the temperature to drop a little bit. I'm aware of what's going on. It's hard to have people say that you didn't know that. That somehow it's all supposed to be taken totally seriously. You'd think people would remember the gallows humor from the original."
