The Wicker Man (1973)
The film revolves around Sergeant Huey (Edward Woodward), who recently arrived in Scotland's small island of Smersisle. This sergeant completes his duties permanently by investigating the report of a missing child whose inhabitants were not alleged by the residents of the town. It is strange that there are more rituals that occur there and are still quite strange.

The gothic ambiance and mood synonymous with the era's familiar tales of unholy menace is wholly absent. If there is evil here, it doesn't know it's evil.

It remains a fine example of occult horror that remains with the viewer well past its conclusion.

You can't help smiling at the audacity of it all and shivering a little at the feelbad ending.

Adult chiller about modern pagans -- no Hogwarts.

Essentially, it's an insane guilty pleasure, still enjoyable for its delightfully eccentric casting and for the funniest, creepiest pub scene in British movies outside of next week's reissue, Withnail & I.

A truly unique horror movie, one of the odd handful throughout history that doesn't really seem to have been influenced by anything and has no obvious heirs, not even its own remake.

Like many of the best horror/thrillers, The Wicker Man works because it surprises audiences, relying on carefully-nurtured suspense rather than cheap, theatrical shocks.

Robin Hardy's 1973 cult horror film passed through several distributors, several versions, and several bankruptcies, picking up a powerful reputation along the way.

A mordant study of theological anxiety

The Wicker Man's genre-bending, thematic daring, and tortuous history have made it the U.K.'s definitive cult movie.

Christopher Lee, who plays the lord of the island, thinks it's one of the finest films he's ever made -- and he's right.

Anthony Shaffer penned the screenplay which, for sheer imagination and near-terror, has seldom been equalled.
