1973 film
POPULARITY
Right, so I sat down all cozy, cup of tea in hand, ready for the new episode of *The Rotten Horror Picture Show Podcast*, where Clay and Amanda are diving into the *original* 1973 classic of British folk horror, *The Wicker Man* — and I'm thinking, “Alright, here we go. The bees. Where are the bees?” But then the movie ends, and guess what? *No bees.* Not a single bee. No buzzing, no screaming, no Nicolas Cage in a cage yelling “NOT THE BEES.” Just Christopher Lee in a big ol' wig and a bunch of cheerful pagans singing folk tunes about corn. And it hits me… ohhh. *This* is the *good* one.This episode is a deep, respectful, and slightly unnerving look into Robin Hardy's weird, wild, and wonderfully pagan film that helped define the folk horror genre. Clay and Amanda talk about Sergeant Howie's journey to the secluded Summerisle, where the people are a bit too happy, the kids sing very inappropriate songs, and every path leads him toward a very *flammable* fate. It's got sexual tension, religious paranoia, and a musical number about a landlord's daughter. And absolutely no bees.But if you *do* want bees — or just want to hear about the gloriously unhinged 2006 remake starring Nic Cage — well, *that's* over on their Patreon feed. You're welcome.So light your May Day bonfire, grab your closest animal costume, and join Clay and Amanda as they explore one of horror's most haunting finales. Because sometimes the real horror… is realizing you've been thinking of the wrong Wicker Man for 17 years.And be sure to hit up patreon.com/thepenskyfile to hear all the coverage of remakes and reboots this year!
The Wicker Man is widely regarded as one of the best British horror films of all time. The strange tale of Sergeant Neil Howie's doomed trip to Summerisle has cemented itself in popular culture since the film's 1973 release, and with it, immortalised several of the National Trust for Scotland's places on screen. Joining Jackie Bird to dissect this cult classic's enduring popularity are film critic Siobhan Synnot and actor Lesley Mackie, who appeared in the original cast as Daisy. Together, they explore the production and legacy of The Wicker Man. To enjoy more episodes of Love Scotland, please follow or subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.

The 1970s version might not have Nic Cage, but The Wicker Man (1973) has everything else. Nudity? Check. Singing? Check. Ancient Pagan rituals, haunted candle hands, and all the canned food you could dream of? Check, check, check! What more could you want, really? Well, if you're main character Sergeant Neil Howie, probably to lead a good Christian investigation into the mystery of a missing girl — but on Scotland's fictional Summerisle, that task proves harder than it seems. This week on Spooky Tuesday, we're joining the hunt as we discuss costumes, colonialism and CLEAR references.

Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're diving into the eerie, enigmatic, and utterly unforgettable world of The Wicker Man (1973). Directed by Robin Hardy, this British folk horror film has become a cult classic, celebrated for its atmospheric tension, haunting soundtrack, and a storyline that lingers long after the credits roll.The Wicker Man transports us to the remote island of Summerisle, where Police Sergeant Neil Howie (played by Edward Woodward) arrives to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. What he discovers is a community steeped in pagan rituals and traditions, starkly contrasting with his devout Christian beliefs.Howie's investigation unravels in a community that at first seems idyllic and welcoming, but harbors dark secrets beneath its surface. The islanders, led by the charismatic Lord Summerisle (a role immortalized by Christopher Lee), engage in practices that bewilder and horrify the devout sergeant, leading him on a path that culminates in one of cinema's most shocking finales.The Wicker Man is more than a horror film; it's a piece of cinematic art that questions, provokes, and mesmerizes. Its influence can be seen in numerous films and TV shows that followed, making it essential viewing for fans of the genre and cinephiles alike.So, whether you're a long-time fan or new to the haunting tale of Sergeant Howie and the island of Summerisle, join us as we explore the legacy, the lore, and the lasting impact of "The Wicker Man."

The bees, the bees!

Brose has assembled the cultish Man Bites God to discuss this mid-naughties, smoking trash pile in a conversation that is almost as long and infinitely more entertaining than the film!

Hello! Welcome to another edition of the exclusive audio commentary podcast hosted by me, David Hughes. For this episode, I'm delighted to be joined by John Walsh, author of the exceptionally detailed, exhaustively researched and endlessly entertaining The Wicker Man: The Official Story of the Film, just out from Titan Books. We're going to be watching the version of The Wicker Man known as The Final Cut, which has slightly different running times depending on the frame rate, but should stay in sync throughout our chat. John has spoken to almost literally everyone for the book, anyone who had anything to do with the making of the 1973 masterpiece, which happens to be my favourite horror film, and be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. By the end of the commentary, you'll think you know everything there is to know about the making of The Wicker Man, but I promise you, John has only scratch the surface: to dig deeper, you'll really need to pick up that book – ideally a physical copy, as it's a beautiful thing in its own right, packed with archive material, rare and previously unseen photographs and all kinds of other buried treasures. I'm really grateful to John for walking through the film with me, and for unearthing so much incredible background for the book and the commentary. Apologies for the slight quality degredation in the opening 20 minutes or so, likely due to dark magic by the people of Summerisle. Comments? Feedback? Suggestions?

The Wicker Man is a cult movie about a cult, so that alone makes it a good choice for Scary Movie Month. Robin Hardy's film is really more of a mystery than a horror extravaganza though, as the pious and intentionally unlikable policeman from the mainland (Edward Woodward) slowly finds out just how dedicated the Scottish islanders are to their Lord (Christopher Lee). These people love their apples. They're also liberated, sexy and even like to have fun on Summerisle, but they're often mean-spirited as they essentially torture the repressed cop. The picture isn't especially frightening, but the iconic ending is disturbing and haunting. Oh, and as influential as The Wicker Man is, we forgot to mention that this movie was also the inspiration for the Burning Man Festival! We DID often mention the ludicrous Nicolas Cage remake a lot though. Something about a shark.

We just can't get enough Christopher Lee this month so let's make it five and check out his “Austin Powers” look. You're the most catholic Scottish cop on the planet. You're literally abstaining sex until marriage like a madman. You get a letter telling you that a girl has been missing on a place called Summerisle. You go there alone. People are fucking out on their lawns. Children are laughing at you. The old timers are lying to you. The lord of the place has more drip than you. Is this a murder mystery or are you a beetle on a string tied to a nail? We're capping this week's HALLOWEEN HUMPFEST with Robin Hardy's 1973 cult creeper “The Wicker Man” starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland. If they just chilled out with the sacrifices then I would totally join this cult. Britt Ekland would not have had to sing and slap the walls for very long at all. I'm lonely.

It's time to keep your appointment with The Film ‘89 Podcast as Skye is joined by returning guest hosts John Arminio and Steven Saunders to celebrate the 50th anniversary of cult British horror film, The Wicker Man (1973). Director Robin Hardy's film stars Edward Woodward as Scottish police sergeant Neil Howie who ventures to the remote Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. Sgt Howie's investigation turns into a cat and mouse chase that culminates in one of the most bone chilling endings in all of horror cinema. That said, the bulk of the film refuses to follow standard horror conventions and remains one of the most unique British films ever made, truly one of a kind. Featuring Britt Ekland, Ingrid Pitt, Diane Cilento and a superlative performance from screen legend Christopher Lee, Hardy's folk horror classic remains a film like no other, and one that gets the usual passionate and in-depth analysis you've come to expect from the Film ‘89 team in this definitive exploration and examination of The Wicker Man.
No, not the bees (not the bees!) - this is the original, accept no substitutes British classic where Edward Woodward travels to Summerisle in search of a missing girl and clashes with the suave and sinister Christopher Lee. And we talk folk horror, conspiracy thrillers, and the terrible misrepresentations of pagan culture as we dig into everything worth discussing about this amazing movie!

Summoned to a remote island off the coast of Scotland by a report claiming a young girl, Rowan Morrison, has gone missing, West Highland Constabulary Sergeant Neil Howie finds himself far from any reality he's ever known, due to the strange customs and people of the island, called Summerisle. A god-fearing, Christian man in every way, Howie is put off, then shocked by the the island's free-thinking, sexually explicit ways. He refuses the advances of Willow, a landlord's daughter, and threatens to arrest Miss Rose, a schoolteacher, for discussing phallic symbols. Summerisle, Howie comes to understand, believes only in gods of fertility, and pagan ways, as overseen by Lord Summerisle, a tall, imposing chap with a fantastic house and even snappier wardrobe. When no one can seem to recall having met or seen Rowan, Howie's investigation leads down a series of increasingly strange dead ends. And as May Day approaches, he becomes increasingly convinced that he has become the subject of a bizarre, dangerous game.

... Or why does Cerne Abbas remind me of a mix of the village from Children of the Stones, Summerisle, Corfe Castle and Chiddingfold! (I said Godalming on the podcast but on second thoughts that is a bit too urbane with it's fancy big Waitrose). I finally visit the Cerne Giant after planning it for two trips... I did have to take a sneaky taxi ride cos I just missed the bus in Dorchester, if you have ever seen Dorchester you'll know why I didn't want to spend nearly 3 hours there wating for the X11. Gilling around Weymouth is bad enough! Shame cos the last bus from Cerne is 6pm I could not try those lovely pubs out (only 3 survive from the original 12 so no The World's End here, definite vibes of Hot Fuzz though). --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/jaunt/message

The Wicker Man is a 1973 British folk horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Big Chris Lee. In his 7th appearance on The General Witchfinders. The screenplay by Anthony (frenzy) Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centres on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism.The movie is well-regarded by critics. Film magazine Cinefantastique described it as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies", and in 2004, Total Film magazine named The Wicker Man the sixth greatest British film of all time, and during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony the film was included as part of a sequence that celebrated British cinema.In 1989, Shaffer wrote a script treatment for The Loathsome Lambton Worm, a direct sequel with fantasy elements. Hardy had no interest in the project, and it was never produced. In 2006, an ill-received American remake was released, from which Hardy and others involved with the original have dissociated themselves. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree, was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance.Television actor Edward Woodward was cast in the role of Sergeant Neil Howie after the part was declined by both Michael York and David Hemmings. In Britain, Woodward was best known for the role of Callan, which he played from 1967 to 1972. After The Wicker Man, Woodward went on to receive international attention for his roles in the 1980 film Breaker Morant and the 1980s TV series The Equalizer.The film was produced at a time of crisis for the British film industry. The studio in charge of production, British Lion Films, was in financial trouble and was bought by wealthy businessman John Bentley. To convince the unions that he was not about to asset-strip the company, Bentley needed to get a film into production quickly. This meant that The Wicker Man, a film set during spring, actually began filming in October 1972: artificial leaves and blossoms had to be glued to trees in many scenes. The production was kept on a small budget. Christopher Lee was extremely keen to get the film made; he and others worked on the production without pay,(Something he seems very keen to mention at every opportunity). While filming took place, British Lion was bought by EMI Films.Iron Maiden released a single called The Wicker Man from their Brave New World album in tribute to the classic film.$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$£$ Just in case anyone has too much money and wants to give a bit to us to help with our hosting n stuff.

The Winter of Folk Horror series begins. Part one of our celebration of folk horror, focuses on a reoccurring theme in the subgenre. People who are out their element, ultimately making poor choices, putting themselves in undesirable, usually unsafe, situations. A woman finds herself seemingly being manipulated by the eccentric inhabitants of a small village. As they seem to be guiding her toward a potential mate, she becomes suspicious that her life may actually be at risk, in Robin Redbreast (1970). Edward Woodward is a police sergeant, investigating the disappearance of a young girl on the remote island of Summerisle. However, when Christopher Lee, the island's leader, and the rest of the locals seem completely unconcerned, it becomes evident that they have something special planned for an upcoming pagan celebration, in The Wicker Man (1973). How does a movie about a pair of hitmen find a way to cross over into the world of folk horror? Hey, you'll have to listen to us discuss Kill List (2011), to find out. A group of friends honor the memory of someone they've lost, by following through on a suggested hiking trip. But when they attempt a shortcut through an unfamiliar forest, they find themselves at the mercy of unknown forces, in The Ritual (2017). And then from there, in an attempt to rescue his kidnapped sister, a man finds himself infiltrating a religious island cult, who are holding her for ransom, in Apostle (2018).
Crooked Table Podcast - The world of film from a fresh angle
The Wicker Man has gotten a bad rap in recent years, thanks to the widely ridiculed 2006 remake starring Nicolas Cage. But this episode, we're setting aside the "not the bees!" jokes for a closer look at the original 1973 classic. Amy Otero joins the show to go in-depth on The Wicker Man. We'll discuss its representation of pagan culture, how it uses folk music, and its influence on horror. Who is the real villain of director Robin Hardy's movie? SYNOPSIS Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents' frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.

This week we have an appointment to keep... with The Wicker Man. The Wicker Man is a 1973 cult British horror film directed by Robin Hardy and starring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Christopher Lee. The screenplay by Anthony Shaffer, inspired by David Pinner's 1967 novel Ritual, centers on the visit of Police Sergeant Neil Howie to the isolated island of Summerisle in search of a missing girl. Howie, a devout Christian, is appalled to find that the inhabitants of the island have abandoned Christianity and now practice a form of Celtic paganism. The film is well-regarded by critics and has been described as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies". In 2006, a poorly received (and ill-conceived) American remake was released starring Nicholas Cage, which Hardy and others involved with the original dissociated themselves from. In 2011, a spiritual sequel directed by Hardy entitled The Wicker Tree was released and featured Lee in a cameo appearance.

THIS SEASON’S THEME: SCOTLAND ON FILMWelcome to episode 023 of Choose Film: A Reel Retrospective podcast. Ashley and Gary are joined by Scottish Filmmaker Chris Quick to discuss one of the best classic folk lore horror film, The Wicker ManSYNOPSIS Sergeant Howie, an uptight Calvinist policeman who travels to Summerisle, a remote island off the west coast of Scotland, to investigate reports of a local girl's disappearance. Once there, he finds his solid Christian beliefs confronted by a community dabbling in all manner of dubious pagan practicesLINKS IN CONVERSATION Twitter @FantasticMrQInstagram @FantasticMrQAutumn Never Dies trailer - https://vimeo.com/396293588Chris Quick Website - http://chrisquickfilm.com/SHORT FILMSBODY ISSUESBy Interabang Productions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpNr__w3fFENever Have I Everhttps://youtu.be/LVEu_xOTfJ0The Lost Purse Short Filmhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQv307m6JxYChris Bio:Chris Quick is a Scottish film editor and producer from Glasgow.

He is also the co-founder and current director of the Glasgow Filmmakers Alliance.
Gli abitanti di Summerisle non sono quello che sembrano... ma neppure il protagonista. The Wicker Man è un film che risente dell'influsso della rivoluzione culturale anni Sessanta e che rappresenta, con ironia e astuzia, un confronto paradossale fra paganesimo e cristianesimo.

This week we watched The Wicker Man (1973) which can be found streaming on Netflix, and it lives up to the hype. On this episode, we are joined by Ben Warrington with his recommendations for movies to stream during quarantine, and we also read comments and questions from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Intro - (0:09)Synopsis - (05:25)Review - (8:19)Score - (11:15)Spoilers - (20:23)Final Recommendations - (57:22)Ben's Picks for Quarantine Horror Streaming - (59:14)It Came From Social Media - (1:31:00)Outro - (1:47:22) @dgoebel00 on Instagram provided this amazing artwork. Follow him and check out his website. Synopsis The Wicker Man is about a wicker man. No, it’s actually about a scottish constable, Sargeant Neil Howie, played by Edward Woodward who is called to investigate the disappearance of a little girl off of the secretive and secluded Island SummerIsle. The main thing that you need to know about Sargeant Howie is that he is tired of your shit. The main thing you need to know about SummerIsle is that this Island Fucks. The Wicker Man Poster As Sergeant Howie investigates the disappearance of Rowan Morrison, it becomes quickly apparent that the islanders are not to be trusted. They have shifty eyes from the outset, and even worse, they are Pagans! The devout Christian Sergeant Howie is ill equipped to face the strange rituals and attitudes found to be taught and practiced on the island. These blasphemous rituals include singing and dancing around the maypole and … premarital sex! Blasphemers! As the mystery of the missing girl gets unraveled, Howie learns about the agrarian origins of the island and its reliance on the old gods to provide a plentiful harvest. Sometimes the old gods demand sacrifice. Just sayin. https://youtu.be/a-tDnavDCwI Review The Wicker Man focuses on the true horror, feeling uncomfortable around weird people. This movie is a classic for a reason, it is very discombobulating, and you experience the confusion that Sargeant Howie does. Anyone with a conservative christian upbringing might not have as extreme reaction to the Paganism as Howie, but the feeling of discomfort about sex and blasphemy is probably familiar. The darkness at the root of this island is felt throughout, but isn’t overt. Mostly it’s a feeling of being toyed with and mocked. The island is like a bunch of Mean Girls. The enduring legacy of the film is it’s conclusion and I don’t want to spoil it for those that haven’t seen it. All I can say is it made me feel lots of emotions, almost like a religious experience Score 10/10 The Wicker Man (1973)Add the Blu ray to your collection or stream it right nowBuy/Rent on Amazon Spoilers Expand for Spoilers I pretty much knew the plot of the Wicker Man from the Radiohead music video for Burn The Witch, and also heard that the ending of Midsommar was very similar, but I was genuinely effected by the ending of The Wicker Man. https://youtu.be/yI2oS2hoL0k This music video is based on The Wicker Man. There are spoilers. The pacing of the film really lulls you into a false sense of security. You know pretty much from the get go that these islanders are acting suspicious, but the immediate conclusion is that they are covering for someone in the village that commited the murder. However, as we see the islanders, especially the landlords daughter Willow, continue to fuck with him, it seems like there might be a larger conspiracy. Along the way, there is enough clues revealed, that it feels like the secret is that Rowan is alive and going to be sacrificed. I'd let her fuck with me... The conclusion arrives, and it is revealed that Sargent Howie was the target all along. They had specifically researched him and identified him as the ideal sacrifice to the gods for a plentiful harvest. He was: An Adult MaleA VirginHe comes with the power of a king in that he is a police officerHe is a ChristianHe is a fool ...

Mediæval Bæbes with Katherine Blake in conversation with David Eastaugh The Bæbes' first album, Salva Nos (1997), reached number two on the UK specialist classical charts, and was certified silver 15 May 1998. Subsequent albums include Worldes Blysse (which went to No. 1[citation needed]), Undrentide, (co-produced by John Cale), The Rose, (produced by Toby Wood), and the Christmas-themed album Mistletoe and Wine. Mirabilis (2005), was launched at a concert and party in London, August 2005. A self-titled DVD was released in July 2006. The first 300 preorders were autographed by the band and received a special mention in the DVD credits. A live album was released on 25 November 2006 and features two new studio tracks. Each album features traditional medieval songs and poetry set to music, mostly arranged by Blake specifically for the ensemble, alongside varying numbers of original compositions. They sing in a variety of languages, including Latin, Middle English, French, Italian, Russian, Swedish, Scottish English, German, Manx Gaelic, Spanish, Welsh, Bavarian, Provençal, Irish, modern English and Cornish. Their vocals are backed by medieval instruments, including the recorder and cittern, played by the singers or fellow musicians. The Bæbes' musical pieces run the gamut from extremely traditional, such as their version of the "Coventry Carol" on Salva Nos, to songs that feel traditional but are much more modern, such as their rendition of "Summerisle", a song written for Robin Hardy's 1973 cult film, The Wicker Man. John Cale added non-medieval instruments, including saxophone and electric guitar, to some of the arrangements on Undrentide, although with subsequent albums the band returned to more traditional instruments. Even with these instruments, however, the band's current style is quite different from medieval authentic performance groups, as it displays significant modern influence - this juxtaposition is apparent in the album Illumination (2009) produced by KK (Kevin Kerrigan).

The week we review 1973's "The Wicker Man". It is regarded by many as one of the BEST British horror films of all time. Christopher Lee also considers this his best acting role.

Famous for different reasons Neil LaBute's 2006 remake starring Nicolas Cage, Ellen Burstyn, Kate Beahan, Molly Parker, and Leelee Sobieski is more infamous for it's uneven performances and Nicolas Cage shooting for the stars.

"But they are... a-are naked!", udbryder den puritanske politimand Howie, der får sig et kulturchok som gæst på øen Summerisle ved Hebriderne.The Wicker Man (1973) instrueret af Robin Hardy efter en roman af David Pinner med titlen The Ritual (1967) er den 30. film på Thomas og Mortens liste over de 100 bedste film.Politimanden Sgt. Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) ankommer til øen Summerisle ved Hebriderne for at følge op på et anonymt tip om at teenagepigen Rowan Morrison (Gerry Cowper) er forsvundet fra øen. Efterforskningen fører Howie rundt blandt øens befolkning, der dyrker den gamle keltiske religion. Han møder blandt andre kroejerens datter Willow (Britt Ekland) i kroen The Green Man, skolefrøkenen Miss Rose (Diane Cilento) og øens leder Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). Selv om der ikke synes at være nogen spor efter Rowan, har Howie mistanke om at øens befolkning har skjult pigen og vil ofte hende dagen efter til maj-festen. Derfor vælger han at blive på øen. Forklædt som Mester Jakel bliver Howie ufrivilligt maj-festens hovedperson som brændofferet i The Wicker Man.Thomas og Morten tager en snak om sexualitet og offerrolle i krydsfeltet mellem hedenskab og kristendom.
There's nowt so queer as folk horror, as the old saying goes. Well, sort of. The folk horror subgenre was kick-started by the strange, hypnotic and utterly spellbinding 1973 classic, The Wicker Man. The tale of a devoutly religious policeman who finds himself looking for a missing child on the remote Pagan island of Summerisle, The Wicker Man pushed the boundaries with its depiction of sexual freedom, alternative living and its truly shocking finale. So why didn't it find its audience upon release? And just why did Christopher Lee read poetry to a snail? In our last episode of 2018 we're jumping naked over flames, rubbing our breasts against the wall and gobbling up frogs. It's so blasphemous we could just scream! Settle down and listen to our take on what has been called "The Citizen Kane of horror"... Find us on Facebook - search Screaming Queenz Podcast - and LIKE us!
In this episode Paul and I discuss the British classic 'The Wicker Man' in a conversation filled with singing, punwork and questionable statements about cannibalism. [Apologies if the sound quality isn't quite as good as usual. There were technical issues with this recording]

TUDW Episode 8 - The Wicker Man On this episode I'm joined by Liam (@LiamMJones1994)to discussThe Wicker Man (1973) Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents' frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.
It's episode 107... and something wicker this way comes... The Wicker Man (1973) tells the story of Sgt. Howie of the Scottish constabulary. Howie is sent to the remote Hebredian island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. What he finds is a town devoted to pagan rituals, but could something more sinister be brewing under the surface? (The answer is yes). We discuss the importance of not drinking on the job; the lethal risks of a life of chastity; and the merits of a strong negotiation strategy when dealing with cult leaders. All of which leads to one question... How would you survive? Whatever happens, one thing's for sure... Take a seat. I believe it is better to receive a shock with the knees bent. Another classic film solved by the best movie podcast in the world

On this episode, we continue looking at themes of occult ritual and esoteric psychodrama via the 1973 mystery/horror film 'The Wicker Man'. Another 'conspiracy-classic', the film follows a Scottish Highlands Police Officer who travels to a remote island community after being tipped off about a missing schoolgirl. After encountering the Heathen rites and traditions of the townsfolk, he eventually deduces that a ritual sacrifice to the Pagan gods is being planned, thus inciting him to infiltrate the ceremony. We discuss the arcane arts of manipulation and subterfuge, the 'Willing Fool' archetype, and the myopic misunderstandings of the Christian initiate as he wills himself to martyrdom. We also take a look at the dichotomy of psychological principals that are played out through the clash between Paganism and Christianity, and touch on the possibility of a higher Masonic conspiracy on both sides of the religious divide. Be sure to join us on our next review, as we draw parallels between 'The Wicker Man' and the current sociopolitical climate, where crisis actors and 'willing fools' are fuelling the strategy of tension.

This week Mike and Dustin dip into the British Film Institute's Top 100 list and journey to mysterious Summerisle to tackle 1973's The Wicker Man. Is this movie truly the Citizen Kane of horror films or is it simply popular because of the impression its anti-establishment themes and nudity would have made on a young, pre-internet teenage audience? Listen to the commentary and see how this classic fares at the roundtable. Also in this episode, we talk a little about the new poll feature and clarify our use of the term 'classic'.
Gather round the maypole as Corinne, Polly, and Tim journey to scenic Summerisle to keep an appointment with The Wicker Man from 1973. We'll discuss this chilling suspense film's depiction of belief systems in conflict, comment on the power of its unforgettable ending, and lament the twin crimes of film location vandalism and bad remakes.

In the second of our Halloween podcasts we travel to Summerisle in Scotland and get all in a tiz about apples and bare bottoms. And Christopher Lee. 101 Films Podcast 066 – The Wicker Man The Final Cut
Warning: Spoilers ahead – ‘Behind the Curtain’, unlike any other movie review show. Listen to Gareth and Alex as they dissect their favourite films in true Mind Set style. Asking the questions other shows are afraid to ask and revealing what’s hiding in plain sight. The Wicker Man (1973) “You’ll simply never understand the true nature of sacrifice…” Searching for a missing girl, Sgt. Howie is led to Summerisle. Isolated in the cold Scottish waters it is a place renowned for its fruit and harvest. A strong Christian and man of virtue the Sergeant has trouble dealing with the locals and their heathen ways. It not only the fruit that is different on Summerisle… This is a film that dares to question our established values and lifestyle. Hedonistic and intense at times yet peaceful and ‘civilised’ at others. ‘The Wicker Man’ is laced with symbolism and presents our ‘modern society’ with an alternative view of both life and death. Fearing the child is to be used as sacrifice, Pagan rituals and lust lead the Sergeant on a dance where the hunter becomes the hunted.
