 THE
WICKER
MAN
With
Christopher
Lee,
Edward
Woodward,
Britt
Ekland
Directed
by
Robin
Hardy
The
Wicker
Man
became
a
cult
film
shortly
after
its
release
in
the
early-
to
mid-70s.
Partly
because
it
never
got
the
full
release
it
deserved
(due
to
studio
disinterest)
and
because
the
original
cut
was
rumoured
to
be
lost
forever.
The
subject
matter
also
lent
itself
to
a
less
mainstream
interest.
A
policeman
is
summoned
to
an
island
off
the
Scottish
coast
to
investigate
the
case
of
a
missing
girl.
He
gets
embroiled
in
a
sinister
community
that
seems
to
still
follow
ancient
pagan
rites
and
rituals.
It
far
surpassed
the
cheesy
Hammer
Horror
camp
that
one
expected
of
Christopher
Lee.
This
double
DVD
release
contains
both
the
original
release
and
the
director's
cut.
Cast
and
crew
commentary,
documentaries,
biographies,
TV
&
radio
spots,
a
Christopher
Lee
interview
and
a
CD-Rom
feature
containing
the
theatrical
press
brochure
makes
this
the
package
hardcore
fans
have
been
waiting
decades
to
possess.
They
sure
don't
make
them
like
this
anymore.
PS.
For
some
reason
they'd
gone
and
made
a
remake
-
with
Nicolas
Cage(!)
