Mick Garris on The Wicker Man
0 views • Jan 19, 2024
It's Christianity vs. Paganism and Guess Who comes out on top in Robin Hardy's cult classic which initially suffered from poor distribution but is now widely considered a landmark horror film.
Partially instigated by star Christopher Lee (it's his favorite role), who is mysteriously absent from this confusing British trailer. Paul Giovanni's memorable Celtic song score nearly qualifies this as a musical.
Various cuts exist, the longest being 102 minutes (beware shorter versions). Remade, sort of, in 2007 by TFH Guru Neil Labute. Director Hardy helmed a 2011 offshoot, The Wicker Tree, with a Lee cameo, and hopes to have the last of his "trilogy", The Wrath of the Gods, in theaters by 2013.
