The Wicker Man is one of our favourite films of all time and a classic of Scottish Cinema. It defies genre classification: it is a horror musical starring Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward. The film portrays a law abiding young police sergeant who travels to a remote Scottish island when he hears of the disappearance of a young girl.

Stranger still, the island\u2019s community thrives on extraordinary rituals.<\/p>\n

The film explores the boundaries of our imagination and our sense of disbelief.
