They simply don't make them like this anymore. Eerie, full of tense atmosphere and definitely British, this film has you on the edge of your seat from the beginning and draws you in to a macabre world set in place not very far away but a million miles in terms of standard ideals and beliefs. Edward Woodward is brilliant, as are all the actors. The sexual undertones add to the heightened atmosphere. The story line is simple, which goes hand-in-hand with the lives the islanders choose to live. Turn the lights off, sit back and enjoy.

One of the truly great British movies! If, like me, you want to get away from the typical blood drenched, clichéd characters horror movie, take a look at The Wicker Man. Well acted, steadily plotted and craftfully directed. A sense of eerie foreboding builds to blistering, heart stopping climax!! Films, especially of the horror genre, are not made like this anymore! Essential viewing!! And the soundtrack is worth a mention too. Great stuff!

I first watched this years ago with my mum as it's one of her favourite films and because i was still young i didn't really understand it. Now thirty, i fully understand and know why it was so popular and why it has become a classic!!
As this is the collectors edition it contains the theatrical version on 1 dvd, the director's cut on another dvd and the soundtrack on another disc!
I bought this for a mothers day gift and my mum was really happy as she hasn't got a copy and so it turned out to be a brilliant present!
At just £5.99 it is a bargain as it's the same price for the 1dvd version and in this you get much more.
I have just ordered one for myself and it will be an excellent addition to my huge dvd collection!! Nice one Play!
