DVD Reviews of The Wicker Man
DVD Review: Strange. VERY strange.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'll just sum up my feelings about this movie rather than describing the plot, etc. Read other reviews for details about the plot.
The Wicker Man (1973) is a strange, I mean VERY strange horror movie. It stars Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. A police sergeant is investigating a young girl's disappearance on a remote island called Summerisle. The islanders practice Celtic neopagan cult rituals with animal sacrifices and the supernatural, which the sergeant finds disturbing. The movie is upbeat at times, scary at times, and gets more and more bizarre as it progresses, but it's definitely entertaining and will hold your attention.
There is a lot of nudity. Topless women and nude women dancing. There is full nudity at times. There are couples screwing in a churchyard at night and one scene shows a naked woman crying next to a tombstone. This is one of those bizarre early '70s British films. The Wicker Man is the centerpiece late in the movie and the ending is quite bizarre.
This DVD is in widescreen and has a featurette called "The Wicker Man Enigma", which is all about the movie and how it came to be. Also included is the theatrical trailer, TV spot, radio spots, talent bios, and is closed captioned in English.
If you crave watching a horror movie that's bizarre and unusual, then try this one. It's ranked as the sixth greatest British film of all time. I recommend it.
