Appreciate the honest review! It's always a bit of a gamble diving into a new horror flick, hoping for that unique blend of suspense, storytelling, and shock value. It's disappointing to hear that 'Lord of Misrule' falls into the trap of predictability and excessive runtime without enough substance. The parallels you drew with 'Wicker Man' (the original, not the Cage extravaganza 😄) set the scene well, but it's a bummer that it couldn't deliver beyond surface-level similarities. Your take saves me the dilemma of whether to invest time in it. I might just skip this one and revisit some classics instead. Thanks for the heads-up!
