Film Dope
The Wicker Man
1973
Director |
| An upright British Policeman investigates the disappearance of a child in a remote island community. An eerie atmosphere permeates this happy pagan tale topped by one of the great twist endings in cinema. Dated but enjoyable and creepy. Available in Theatrical and extended versions the former of which abbreviates, eliminates and moves around scenes. |
