There's not a lot that can be said for The Wicker Man that hasn't already been said. Rightly hailed as a British classic, it stands up to repeated viewings and I usually give it a go at least once a year. The story of the virginal and Christian Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward , never better) and his search for a missing girl on a remote pagan island never wanes and is always as unsettling as the previous watch. This time around there was some added interest after we had spent a fair amount of time at Christmas visiting the locations.
If you've never seen this film, remedy that as soon as possible. It remains a sparkling and haunting original.
