The Wicker Man

from Forbidden Films

"Come. It is time to keep your appointment with the Wicker Man." Wayne Kramer and Barry Germansky head to Summerisle to celebrate May Day with Christopher Lee and his merry band of pagans. We kneel before the acting prowess of Edward Woodward, fantasize about losing our virginity to Britt Ekland, and rage at the clueless executives that disemboweled director Robin Hardy and writer Anthony Shaffer's folk horror classic in the name of commercialism and cowardice. As an aside, our duo goes on a film preservation and physical media rant with Wayne singing the praises of 4K viewing, despite the increased resolution diluting some of The Wicker Man's sinfulness.
