About this product
Product Information
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), Robin Hardy's eerie film paints a disturbing portrait of an almost prehistoric, multi-deity worshipping society given to bizarre rituals and Bacchanalian excess. Though recognition may have been a long time coming, THE WICKER MAN stands as a strikingly original achievement that is equal parts horror, drama, comedy, and musical.Product Identifiers

The Original Wicker Man 99 minutes.
This set includes both the. so called, extended version and a copy of the theatrical release. Running 99 minutes and Called the extended version, the 99 minute movie is in reality the version that the director intended. It, the 99 minutes, is the only version that should ever be seen. If you cannot find the 99 runtime, or a set with both, please do not waste your time. The shorter, recut, version leaves out vital information and changes the timeline enough to cause confusion. When compared to the original it is a travesty. The movie itself is a classic mystery/horror/ thriller. Strangely enough it is also a musical done so subtly and integral to the plot that those who do not care for musical as a genre will not notice. (Christopher Lee pointed that fact out in an interview.) Once again Edward Woodward provides an outstanding, believable performance as Neil Howie. Christopher Lee, considered Lord Summer isle as some of his best work. Caution, some scenes not recommended for children, adults may want to pre screen to make their own determination. Otherwise this cult classic is a must see!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Two-Versions of the Original Wicker Man
I was so pleased to find both original versions (short & long) of one of my favorite horror movies - and I love the wooden box they came in! I like Nicholas Cage’s version too but it does not compare to the first one with Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee & Britt Eckland. I will treasure this!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
