Chocked full of naked dancing and bizarre sexual debauchery, The Wicker Man is just twisted enough to elicit a few jaw-dropping WTF moments. This 1975 original manages to do what the ill-fated 2006 remake failed to accomplish, it genuinely feels wicked and creepy. And he...( read more)
A classic. Not really horror, or at least not as obvious as a slasher film. Creepy & beautiful, with a great cast and wonderfully shot on such a small budget. All this and an ending you won?t forget. Forget Aliens and monsters, religious people are far more frightening! Brilliant...( read more)

This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Wicker Man" !
