Review of The Wicker Man (1973) by Zachary M — 17 Jan 2017

Bizarre and colorful, it seems like a fever dream more than anything else. A dream where you're not sure what you see is real or fake, and that's probably how the main character in this film feels being in a totally weird place so against everything his strict Christian up bringing would prepare him for.

Also, the idea of a group of people seemingly so happy about human sacrifice and murder to the point where they dance in celebration of it, just ticks the creepy button in a way we are not usually accustomed to.

We're used to seeing evil, but truly blissful evil? Now that is freighting indeed.
