When the subtitles came out, all that came into my mind was:
80% of the super bad movies were good, suspenseful and fascinating, but the ending was really surprising. When Cage was burned, I wondered if he was hallucinating (Because it's everywhere in the film), whether helicopters and SWAT teams will fall from the sky (or what's the point of the phone ringing in the film), the director tried his best to conceive a clever opening, but he confessed to an idiot ending.

The Wicker Man quotes

  • Sister Rose: Mr. Malus, no one is lying to you. I told you that if Rowan Woodward existed, we would know of her.

    Edward Malus: If she existed? If?

    Sister Rose: But you cannot come barging into our...

    Edward Malus: I just saw that she existed with my own two eyes. And I suppose her mother is lying to me, too, huh? She's lying?

    Sister Rose: Not lying, no. Grieving. We all are.

    Edward Malus: Wait, wait, wait, wait. When you say that she's grieving, you mean that Rowan is... dead?

    Sister Rose: You would say so, yes.

    Edward Malus: She's dead or she isn't.

    Sister Rose: We never use that word here.

    Edward Malus: [sarcastic] No, that'd be too quixotic.

    Sister Rose: Yes.

  • Sister Rose: [Malus interrupts her school lesson] I was unaware any of my girls needed arresting.

    Edward Malus: They don't, no. I'm just up here to find a missing girl whom people are pretending doesn't exist.

    Sister Rose: How quixotic of you.

    Edward Malus: Quixotic?

    Sister Rose: From "Don Quixote"; pursuer of lofty but impractical ideals.
