@@Isabelle-hv6ny Wickerman never focus on sadistic or disturbing. They really build the ambience and experience for audience. The Music & Songs, I really love the beautiful small island and they show the ritual beautifully and authentic. and the plot really make me curious about what happen to that little girl. The acting from calibre actor was brilliant and the plotwist one of the best. Midsommer, when they hit the oldman who fall from cliffs with hammer so disturbing and show they want to make a scene as disturbing as they can, the ritual too much dance so boring they even repeating that before eat ritual. And especially the ending have the same plot with wickerman about burn alive human sacrifice for ritual (Sorry for bad english)

@Ken Hollis True, but in the film Lord Summerisle makes clear that the people of the island used to be Christian before his grandfather came there and started the nature religion, driving out the priests. That is why the ruined church is in the town square. So even if the individuals alive today had never had christianity, they as an island society had renounced Christianity. A much more realistic approach since there were no unbroken chains of cultic pagan practice in Europe by the high middle ages, let alone the present.

The priests who left never told anyone an island was converting to paganism en masse?

One of the best movies I have ever seen. Rarely see anybody talk about it when I watch rankings of people's favorite movies. The Ending is so incredibly heart wrenching, the horror of seeing that huge wicker man for the first time is unforgettable, and how Sgt Howie starts singing his heart out as the thing burns, holy crap, one of the best acted scenes I've ever seen. Christopher Lee is also horrifying in this, watching him cross dress is just so deeply unsettling. Not only one of the best horror movies ever made, but one of the best movies ever made in general. Even though the ending is horrifying, I keep coming back to it. Unlike other movies that also have unhappy endings like Hereditary for example, I do not enjoy watching that movie, it's not bad at all, but it is so depressing and dark, I just can't. The Wicker Man is colorful, cheery and horrific at the same time, it's incredible.

it was called "Barnaby" and it was in East Cheshirs and it was wierd. We got an extra week off school in the summer half term as well for it (subsequently taken away). But I've no idea what it was about and remiss of me not to find out. Any approach on the topic gets quickly shut down too ( I think that is coz noone knew what we were doing but it's a fun observation. Even my best mate still there moves the topic on if its ever raised) but I enjoy the mystery when I think of it. Maybe we'll uncover a load of charred remains of Southerners who were lured to our murky county in a few years only to be burned as a sacrifice to a needy God living just west of the pennines?

But never have I felt such feeling of uneasiness and loneliness, like "I don't belong here, i'm not wanted here" when seen with the eyes of the main character. Portrait of a very different, beautiful culture (with "twisted undertones", or is it twisted because we see it as such?). Also the OST, best OST ever. Hands down.

Honestly? I view it like this: even if we were to all unanimously agree that the human sacrifice in the film was wrong, I personally would have turned a blind eye to this particular instance. Howie was an asshole who kept on overreaching the entire movie. He's supposed to be investigating a missing person and yet all he basically does is shove his opinions where they don't belong in an attempt to "enlighten" the people of Summer Isle. Even to the point of desecrating a grave at one scene. Howie had every right to believe what he believed but he had no right trying to proselytize. Even in a deleted scene we see that his fellow cops in England don't think too highly of him. And you may say that I'd be hypocrite if I was apalled by a reverse of the situation where Christians killed a Pagan. Maybe that'd be true but the unfortunate thing is that it isn't a hypothetical. The early history of Christianity is so bloody it's absurd and its present still even retains those sentiments. Did you know that there has been an uptick in violence and discrimination towards members of indigenous and Afro-Diaspora religions in South America in the past few years that has even been openly condoned by certain political leaders? Even just a few months ago a hugely powerful individual (apologies for not recalling the exact details) openly stated that the Goddess of the local tribe's religion was "no longer welcome" in the nation's capital. So yeah, there are real Howies out there and they are declaring war on other people's ways of life

Wild Men pretty deep opinions there lol. All I know is the first time I watched this movie it genuinely disturbed the fuck out of me in the most delicious way possible. My friend told me I just had to see this movie. I was a sophomore in highschool. He fell asleep and this strange story unfolded and just had me wondering where the hell is this all going? The end of the movie shook me. Very few movies actually manage to disturb me. I couldn’t sleep for mostly the entire night afterward. I value both Gnostic (Original Christian) and Pagan ideas, so I don’t have too deep an opinion on who was “in the right” in this film. But I enjoyed reading your thoughts.

Considering that the ritual was all female and we don't know the intended ages of the characters that those actresses were playing, I'm not too sure calling it a "pedophile orgy" is a tenable conclusion to draw from what we're seeing. More likely it is meant to be an observance of female mysteries linked to the overarching festival that the islanders are celebrating given the timing and the themes expressed in the song

@@cosmosaic8117 I guess that's one of the reasons it's a good movie. If you're Christian then it's a horror story where a man dies for his faith at the hands of individuals who did the unthinkable and turned away from truth and began praising idols again. If you're a Pagan then it's a carthartic comedy about a jerk who gets what he deserves after the good people of Summer Isle gave the poor schmuck every single chance to get away but he becomes entrapped by his own self-righteousness and hubris in the face of the islanders and the ways of the Old Gods who returned to the people what Christianity took from them. Listen, I've met guys like Howie in real life and you can't blame me for not feeling sorry for the guy since all I can think of when I look at him is all those other douchebags. Is that a nice thing to say? No but it's honest. Howie had it coming and I'll gladly sing along to Sumer is Icumen In every time I watch this film. I'll bet the apple pies the villagers had after this were the best lol

I think your ears are working well cos to me it bears a resemblance to an old Ukranian piece called 'Carol Of the bells' in it's structure and melody. A bit more jaunty, but retains the dark feel. The choir-like voices are very similar. Check it out - there are several versions on KZbin.
