The Wicker Man has had an enduring fascination for audiences since its troubled release in 1973, but has long since gone down in British film history and now commands a respect and devotion that most films can only dream of.
A unique and bone-fide horror masterpiece (indeed, it's one of the films that helped inspire this site) it can now be seen in its original theatrical version and the Director’s Cut including 15 minutes of footage that was thought lost for decades (unfortunately not 15 mins of Britt Ekland in the nip).
When a young girl mysteriously disappears, Police Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), is not what it seems as the devoutly religious detective soon uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy. Can Howie now stop the cult's ultimate sacrifice before he himself comes face to face with the horror of The Wicker Man?
The 3 Disc 3 Collector's Edition is released on DVD on the 4th September and watch this space for a competition!
