The Wicker Man [DVD] [2017] UK-Import, Sprache-Englisch

The Wicker Man has had an enduring fascination for audiences since its release in 1973, commanding a devotion that most films can only dream of. A unique and bone-fide horror masterpiece, brilliantly scripted by Anthony Shaffer (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 investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), is not what it seems as the devoutly religious detective soon uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy. Can Howie now stop the cult's ultimate sacrifice before he himself comes face to face with the horror of The Wicker Man?Extras:THE FINAL CUT (2013 version APPROVED BY ROBIN HARDY)BURNT OFFERING: THE CULT OF THE WICKER MAN DOCUMENTARYWRITTEN BY MARK KERMODEWORSHIPPING THE WICKER MANFAMOUS FANS FEATURETTETHE MUSIC OF THE WICKER MAN FEATURETTEINTERVIEW WITH ROBIN HARDYINTERVIEW WITH CHRISTOPHER LEE & ROBIN HARDY (1979)RESTORATION COMPARISONTRAILER
