THE WICKER MAN has had an enduring fascination for audiences since its release in 1973. A unique and bone-fide horror masterpiece, brilliantly scripted by Anthony Schaffer (Sleuth, Frenzy) and featuring an astounding performance by the legendary Christopher Lee. Director Robin Hardy's atmospheric use of location, unsettling imagery and haunting soundtrack gradually builds to one of the most terrifying and iconic climaxes in modern cinema.
When a young girl mysteriously disappears, Police Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to inverstiage. But this pastoral community , led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) is not what it seems as the devoutley religious detective soon uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy. Can Howie now stop the cults ultimate sacrifice before he himself comes face to face with the horror of THE WICKER MAN?

  • Britischer Kultfilm

    Written on 01. March 2003 by dps.

    Dieser Film ist ein echtes Kunstwerk, schade nur, dass er so schwer zu kriegen ist. Die Bilder, die Musik, die erstklassigen Schauspieler machen "The Wicker Man" zum cineastischen Genuss.
    Der DC ist etwas länger als die Kinoversion, dafür ist bei den neu eingefügten Szenen die Bildqualität erheblich schlechter.

    Die Idee ansich (sie wird in alten Stichen der Kirche den 'Heiden' nachgesagt) ist toll! Aber der Streifen hat viel Staub angesetzt und wird (auf Grund von C.Lee) gewöhnlich überbewertet. Ich finde die Neuverfilmung inhaltlich stimmiger!

    Ein einzigartiger Film mit einem guten Christopher Lee und viel nackter Haut. Die Rolle des Polizisten fand ich zu steif und übertrieben fromm. Mit der Zeit wurde sie immer unglaubhafter. Die InselbewohnerInnen nervten mit der Zeit aber gewaltig.
