Review of The Wicker Man (1973) by Ken S — 26 May 2016

When a young girl is reported missing on a small British island, a cop comes to investigate...but when he gets there he is met with adversity in the people of the island, who he quickly realizes are some kind of heathens (for he is a devout Christian) who may in fact be hiding the girl for a sacrifice to save their dying crops.

It is part mystery, party horror, and (quite oddly) part musical...and it is quite good. Christopher Lee is great as Lord Summerisle, and Edward Woodward is very good as the righteous cop who is increasingly alarmed by the strange behavior of the people of the island.
