About this product

Product Information

A notoriously troubled production notwithstanding, the controversial cult classic THE WICKER MAN is now regarded as a classic of British cinema. Edward Woodward stars as Sergeant Howie, a naive young police officer sent to Summerisle, a secluded island off the coast of Scotland, to investigate the disappearance of a young girl named Rowan. When he arrives there, he finds a very tight-knit community that is mistrustful and hostile to outsiders. No one is willing to even acknowledge Rowan's disappearance. Soon, Howie begins to realize that the town might, in fact, be a strange pagan cult, one given to unbridled sexuality and possible human sacrifice. Seeking an audience with the oddly civilized Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), Howie hopes to get to the bottom of the mystery, but instead he finds something more shocking than he could have ever imagined.Written by Anthony Shaffer (SLEUTH, DEATH ON THE NILE), Robin Hardy's eerie film paints a disturbing portrait of an almost prehistoric, multi-deity worshipping society given to bizarre rituals and Bacchanalian excess. Though recognition may have been a long time coming, THE WICKER MAN stands as a strikingly original achievement that is equal parts horror, drama, comedy, and musical.

  • Excellent acting and scenery but deeply disturbing

    Be careful with The Wicker Man. And don't read any further if you want to avoid clues about the plot. I need to reveal only a "partial" spoiler -- frankly had I known about certain aspects of this film I might have avoided it, even though it's one of the best films of 1973. Here goes -- partial spoiler -- the ending is deeply disturbing and contains images that stay with you. The movie itself is excellent in most areas. The Wicker Man explores ideas about Pagansim and Witchcraft. Britt Eklund and some other beauties reveal quite a bit of themselves, shall we say. Again, an excellent film but with a very disturbing ending.
