The Wicker Man

[Xepheus]

Hi all, I'm looking for opinions on The Wicker Man, and what you thought of it... Personally I LOVED it to bits, and seeing that I agree with the ideas behind paganism (and disagree with a lot of the values of christanity, not all mind).. I thought it had a great ending, one that I celebrated...

But what about you? How do you view the film?

IMHO, one of the best movies Hammer never made...

You may be interested to know that it's the basis of/excuse for a yearly festival:

Christopher Lee in a hippy costume dancing to happy tunes is horror enough even without the ending!

i saw it when it came out on dvd, i would not class it as a horror movie


intresting film it is.

Not a bad film, very dark and xenophobic, not to be watched with your girlfriends grandparents!!!

and whilst on the subject Brass eye paid a great homage to the film in there "special" episode......
