Film Description Intelligent and extraordinary horror movie set on 'Summerisle' off the NW Scottish coast. 'With its shameless sex, fascinating pagan rituals, colourful costumes, vibrant sense of fun and jaw dropping ending of mythic proportions, this is a unique, 24-carat "must see". Or perhaps not, for any self righteous Christian copper!' JD

Review by Clinton Morgan on 14th February 2003 One of the greatest films ever made let alone the one of the greatest horror films. It is rewarding to watch because it treats the viewer with intelligence. Clues are laid throughout the telling of the story so that you get a sense of what the island is like. The film is like Hitchcocks 'The 39 Steps' in that once Sergeant Howie receives the letter from Summerisle the ball starts rolling and there is no stopping it. The music is perfect because it does what good film scores should do and that is not to control audience emotion but to fit the character of the story. So next time someone tells you that British films are rubbish and we can never make movies as they do in Hollywood, tell them Hollywood has never made 'The Wicker Man'.
