SOME SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE.
Cop Edward Malus (Nicolas Cage) goes to a small Washington island to look for a missing girl; what he finds is an isolated, mysterious community ruled by women. Director Neil LaButeās new take on the 1973 classic may have an interesting twist as far as the matriarchy goes, but there isnāt a woman on the island who is even remotely likable. Everything that was quaint and special about the original is absent here; the filmmakers rather choose to emphasize what was always silly about the story.
