The Wicker Man:A notoriously troubled production notwithstanding, the controversial cult classic The Wicker Man is now regarded as a classic of British cinema. Edward Woodward stars as Sergeant Howie, a naive young police officer sent to Summerisle, a secluded island off the coast of Scotland, to investigate the disappearance of a young girl named Rowan. When he arrives there, he finds a very tight-knit community that is mistrustful and hostile to outsiders. No one is willing to even acknowledge Rowan's disappearance. Soon, Howie begins to realize that the town might,... in fact, be a strange pagan cult, one given to unbridled sexuality and possible human sacrifice. Seeking an audience with the oddly civilized Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), Howie hopes to get to the bottom of the mystery, but instead he finds something more shocking than he could have ever imagined. Written by Anthony Shaffer (Sleuth, Death On The Nile) and directed by Robin Hardy, the eerie film paints a disturbing portrait of society which has given into bizarre rituals and Bacchanalian excess, and where anything goes. Though recognition may have been a long time coming, The Wicker Man stands as a strikingly original achievement which will haunt you forever.The Wicker Tree:From the makers of the cult classic The Wicker Man, and directed by The Wicker Man's Robin Hardy, a Texas gospel singer and her boyfriend, both devout evangelical Christians, are sent to Scotland on a mission to spread the word of God. After a concert in Glasgow Cathedral the pair are invited by Sir Lachlan Morrison to preach in his remote border village. They assume their host simply wants to hear more about the Bible and are delighted when offered central roles in the fiefdom's May Day celebrations, especially their custom of the Riding of the Laddie. But soon the horrifying reality dawns on the nave couple as they learn the true significance of the Celtic pagan rites. Reuniting Hardy with legendary actor Christopher Lee for a story in the style of the 1973 landmark fantasy comes the most eagerly anticipated horror movie of the year. [show more]

Double-bill of horror features from director Robin Hardy. 'The Wicker Man' (1973) is a cult classic that follows the fate of a devout Christian policeman, Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward), who is posted to a remote Scottish island to investigate the disappearance of a child. While on the island Howie uncovers a bizarre pagan cult, led by Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), and becomes increasingly convinced that the cult's rituals pose a grave threat to the missing girl. Though not a direct sequel, 'The Wicker Tree' (2010) follows on from the events of Hardy's breakthrough film. Based on Hardy's own novel, 'Cowboys for Christ', the film follows a pair of young missionaries from the American South, Beth (Britannia Nicol) and Steve (Henry Garrett), who travel to the isolated Scottish community of Tressock to spread the word of Christ. However, unexpected consequences occur when they accept an invitation to take part in a local festival.
