the wicker man (1973)


"Animals are fine, but their acceptability is limited. A little child is even better, but not NEARLY as effective as the right kind of adult."
A highly religious Scottish highlands policeman (Edward Woodward) is sent to to Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a child. But once there he finds a cover up, with the locals claiming the girl never existed. an island village in search of a missing girl whom the locals claim never existed. Even worse he finds they are all pagan, presided over by Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee).
Much malighned when first released this has since become a well deserved classic, with a chilling conclusion.
