“Robin Hardy changed the face of horror fifty years ago with his landmark folk horror flick The Wicker Man — Because of its initial box office failure, it tore apart the Hardy family and left devastation in its wake, a trauma that brothers Justin and Dominic Hardy uncover in intimate fashion in the poignant documentary Children of The Wicker Man. —
The result is a deeply emotional tour-de-force that intimately explores the complicated facets of independent filmmaking, the creation of The Wicker Man, and how Hardy’s obsession with the film and downfall saw him walk away from his sons and Justin’s mother Caroline — It’s a bittersweet journey for Wicker Man fans, both delightful in recounting how it defied the odds and became such a success, but heartbreaking to see the devastation etched into Justin and Dominic’s faces as they recall the upheaval it wrought upon their lives.” – Rebecca Sayce / Filmhounds Magazine
