Summary
Wicker Man (1973) is a British horror film directed by Robin Hardy. Set on the fictional Scottish island of Summerisle, the story follows police sergeant Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) who arrives to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. However, he finds the villagers uncooperative and discovers that they have embraced pagan rituals over Christianity, led by Lord Summer Isle (Christopher Lee). The film is notable for its blend of horror, mystery, and folk music, with a unique score composed by Paul Giovanni. It's considered a classic in the 'folk horror' subgenre due to its exploration of rural traditions, cults, and human sacrifice.
