WICKER MAN, THE

Year: 1973
Country: Great Britain
Run Time: 97 minutes

WICKER MAN, THE

THE WICKER MAN, winner of the grand prize at the Third International Festival of Fantasy and Science Fiction Films in Paris, rightfully came by its prize. This fantasy/horror film looks at the occult among the clans and kilts of Scotland. Director Robin Hardy, depressed by the lack of "invention, thought and research" in current horror films, weaves the essential elements of historical paganism together with a modern, civilized air. The result: A chilling sense of plausibility - the sign of a truly terrifying horror film. Veteran of the movie macabre Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland star in this B-film masterpiece, which has been called the "'Citizen Kane' of horror films." British television actor Edward Woodward will be recognized for his leading role in "Breaker Morant" (1980).
