Robin Hardy's trying to recapture something here and it just doesn't quite work out. It feels like a fan fiction version of The Wicker Man. All the same beats are here but without the performances or intrigue of a mystery to pull you through.
Christopher Lee pops up for a line or two on greenscreen, just to link it back in some way to the original. A little vague but it's nice to see him.
Soooooooo much singing. I get the first one had a lot of songs, it's practically a musical. But they really overdo it here.
Trying to capture lightning twice rarely works. This is just too similar to the original to be interesting and where it differs is boring.
