If you loved The Wicker Man, try Fear the Night

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Fear the Night has roughly 4.7× fewer votes than The Wicker Man — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Neil LaBute, and they sit in Horror / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wicker Man, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Fear the Night is

A California farmhouse at midnight, winter rain tapping the tin roof. Eight women scatter, glass shattering under boots. A masked figure at the door raises an axe. LaBute’s home-invasion short circuits slasher clichés with rifle precision.
