The Wicker Man

The Wicker Man is a taut, atmospheric horror film that effectively accomplishes what so few horror movies do: it profoundly frightens and disturbs its audience without showing large amounts of blood, gore, and torture. In fact, The Wicker Man is so frightening precisely because of its disarming and idyllic setting, which leaves viewers completely unprepared for the horrific events that take place. The film's protagonist is a middle-aged police detective who is summoned to a beautiful, remote location to search for a missing girl. The locals are simple, rustic folk who live off the land and keep to themselves. As the detective gets to know them and tries to piece together the events surrounding the child's disappearance, it becomes clear that the villager's reasons for contacting the police are much more complicated -- and much more hideous -- than a simple search for a missing child. The Wicker Man is a profoundly disturbing film whose final scene cannot easily be forgotten. It is essential viewing for any horror fan. MORE [EDIT]
