Strange and entertaining piece from the 70s that has a lot much hidden that what we can found in other pieces of this sub-genre. From Edward Woodward´s play as the astute Sergeant to the matchless Christopher Lee as the hippie Lord, every character in the plot is a piece in this mysterious puzzle. Absolutely amazing end that was replicated several times even in the actual days (Midsommar).

One of those movies with its own feel. Some good dialogue about beliefs and all that goes with that e.g rationality, blindly following. Decent detective mystery which on paper could seem a bit repetitive, but the array of characters and the slow pacing that reveals the island's truths keep it interesting. It builds to a great end.

Howie really thought he can beat Saruman.

Not a clue what I’ve just watched. One of the weirdest and most confusing movies I’ve ever seen! Haha

Particular attention must be given to Edward Woodward as Neil Howie and Christopher Lee as Lord Summerisle, of course. Perfect foils, they both make use of every second they're on screen. Woodward bleeds passion and conviction, especially in the ending. He is the perfect audience surrogate, surv More

Well the cinema was packed as we all sat though what seemed like an interminable preamble of interviews with those connected with the film - including Britt Ekland - before it all started. Was it worth it? Well, I didn't really think so. Policeman "Howie" (Edward Woodward) arrives on a remote Scotti More

I believe in the life eternal, as promised to us by our Lord, Jesus Christ.

Mainland Sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) flies off to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a 12 year old girl. What he finds is a culture steeped in Paganism, presided over by More

The most horrifying thing about "The Wicker Man" is the acceptance of Paganism and it's superstitions by a group of morally vacant hippie islanders. I don't know that the movie is asking the viewer to pick a side, that is Paganism versus Christianity. I do think, however, that even though Sergean More
