Howie is shocked and horrified by the townspeople's loose attitudes toward nudity and sex; one bizzare scene has him trying to sleep as Willow writhes in the nude (with a body double for certain shots) on the other side of the wall singing a ...read the complete Wicker Man movie review at Goatdog's Movies (Michael W.

Like many of the best horror/thrillers, The Wicker Man works because it surprises audiences, relying on carefully-nurtured suspense rather than cheap, theatrical shocks. ...read the complete Wicker Man movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Wicker Man, The (1973) scores a combined 3.50 out of 4 stars for IMDB.comIMDB.com
One of the reasons why THE WICKER MAN remained in relative obscurity until this day is in its unconventionality. Hardy's film looks strange and unusual, not just by the Hollywood standards, but also compared with horror genre as a whole. Those who ...read the complete Wicker Man movie review at IMDB.com

For the inexpensive price that you can find this at Best Buy ($24.99) I would definitely recommend picking this title up. The two-disc set comes in a wooden box with the artwork seemingly burned on the front. It's a really nice looking set and worth the ...read the complete Wicker Man movie review at DVD Talk (Phillip Duncan)

The 1973 cult sensation, The Wicker Man, is nearly impossible to describe without confusing the hell out of people. Mislabeled the Citizen Kane of horror, by Cinefantastique, The Wicker Man is not really a horror film at all, but a dark religious ...read the complete Wicker Man movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

A provocative and bizarre mystery thriller, The Wicker Man leaves behind many memorable images. In the Scottish highlands, communities are stretched thinly and quite isolated (especially in the Western islands). When Sgt. Neil Howie (Edward Woodward) is ...read the complete Wicker Man movie review at Movie Reviews UK
