Considered one of the worst films of all time by its producer upon its completion, this controversial British cult classic was screened shortly after its brief theatrical release, although it is now considered a classic of British cinema. Edward Woodward plays Sergeant Howie, a police officer who is sent to Summerisle, a remote island off the coast of Scotland, to investigate the disappearance of a young girl named Rowan. When he arrives, he finds a tight-knit community that is suspicious and hostile ofstrangers: none of them seem willing to admit to young Rowan'sdisappearance. Howie soon realizes that the town belongs to some kind of pagan cult dedicated to unbridled sexuality and perhaps human sacrifice. Howie seeks an audience with the strangely civilized Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), hoping to get to the bottom of the mystery, but instead he discovers something more shocking than he could have ever imagined.THE WICKER MAN is a true cult classic that paints a disturbing portrait of an almost prehistoric society that worships multiple deities and indulges in bacchanalian excesses and bizarre rituals. Erotic and mysterious, the film uses unforgettable images and stories to evoke the primitive desires that underlie modern society.
