Classic Horror Films - Day 3 (THE WICKER MAN - 1973)

When a young girl mysteriously disappears, police sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), is not at all what it seems. Before long, the devout Christian detective uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy. Excellent film with strong performances by Woodward and Lee. Not your typical film as The Wicker Man does get a little weird but it's always interesting and intriguing. And let's not forget Britt Ekland's racy dance sequence as she tries to temp Howie late one night. Oh and stay away from the dreadful Nicolas Cage remake.
