The Wicker Man: The Final Cut (1973, 2013)
Spyro Rating: 8,5 /10 as "classic"
Director: Robin Hardy
Stars: Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland, Diane Cilento
Do not confuse this with the 2006 garbage remake. The Wicker Man (1973) is a classic horror film, one of those that you remember for life.
A police sergeant arrives on a island to investigate a missing child case. A challenging task since all locals are weird pagans and not interested to help him find their own child. He quickly suspects that the child was sacrificed and needs to find proof of what happened.
The initial 1973 release was not complete as part of the original material was lost after a series of events. Those events include a change in film ownership, some censorship and bad archiving. Time helped in recovering some parts and as of today "The Final Cut" of 2013 is close enough to what was originally intended by Robin Hardy.
