“Goes well beyond what one expects from folk horror”
– Peter Bradshaw / The Guardian 21.6.2023

“Combines a host of compellingly horrific elements”
– Adam Smith / Empire Magazine

“Not just one of the greatest horror films in history and the granddaddy of today’s cerebral horror genre (Hereditary etc), this unnerving chiller is one of the greatest dramatic movies too.”
– Kevin Maher / The Sunday Times 16.6.2023

“Remains as bizarre and bewitching a fable as when it first appeared”
– Stephen Dalton / The Hollywood Reporter 24.9.2013

“Citizen Kane of horror movies”
– Fred Clarke / Cinemafantastique

“A re-release for that gamey satirical masterpiece of folk horror – although ‘prog horror’ is perhaps a better description. Folk horror, like film noir, is a term that seems to have been first used by critics before film-makers themselves, but The Wicker Man is so much better and more distinctive than any film that comes under the folk-horror heading that it’s virtually a one-movie genre in itself. —

It is a brilliant conspiracy-chiller set on May Day on a remote fictional island off the Scottish coast, ruled over by the haughty laird Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), whose inhabitants are devoted to sinister pagan observances to preserve the annual fruit harvest on which their economy depends. —

The film is a genuinely scary adventure in group psychopathology, carried off by director Robin Hardy with an inspired seriousness and density of imagined folkloric detail.” – Peter Bradshaw / The Guardian 21.6.2023
