Nicolas Cage’s performance in The Wicker Man became infamous for its over-the-top reactions and bizarre choices. Scenes meant to be terrifying, such as his confrontation with the villagers or the infamous “not the bees” moment, became unintentionally comedic. Cage’s exaggerated delivery undermined the horror and suspense the film aimed for, leaving audiences confused about whether they should laugh or be scared. The film flopped at the box office, but his performance turned into a meme, making it a cult oddity.
