"It is time to keep your appointment with The Wicker Man." With this simple but chilling annpouncement, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee) consigns a bewildered Sgt Howie (Edward Woodward) to a fiery martyr's death, sacrificed to the island's pagan beliefs. Forget the non-event remake, the 1973 original remains a classic of the 'folk horror' sub-genre.
Director: Robin Hardy
