The Wicker Man (1973)
The film revolves around Sergeant Huey (Edward Woodward), who recently arrived in Scotland's small island of Smersisle. This sergeant completes his duties permanently by investigating the report of a missing child whose inhabitants were not alleged by the residents of the town. It is strange that there are more rituals that occur there and are still quite strange.

Christopher Lee, who plays the lord of the island, thinks it's one of the finest films he's ever made -- and he's right.

The gothic ambiance and mood synonymous with the era's familiar tales of unholy menace is wholly absent. If there is evil here, it doesn't know it's evil.

Essentially, it's an insane guilty pleasure, still enjoyable for its delightfully eccentric casting and for the funniest, creepiest pub scene in British movies outside of next week's reissue, Withnail & I.

It remains a fine example of occult horror that remains with the viewer well past its conclusion.

A truly unique horror movie, one of the odd handful throughout history that doesn't really seem to have been influenced by anything and has no obvious heirs, not even its own remake.
