The Wicker Man
It’s Christianity vs. Paganism and Guess Who comes out on top in Robin Hardy’s cult classic which initially suffered from poor distribution but is now widely considered a landmark horror film. Partially instigated by star Christopher Lee (it’s his favorite role), who is mysteriously absent from this confusing British trailer. Paul Giovanni’s memorable Celtic song score nearly qualifies this as a musical. Various cuts exist, the longest being 102 minutes (beware shorter versions). Remade, sort of, in 2007 by TFH Guru Neil LaBute.

About Mick Garris
Mick Garris produced and directed a segment for Nightmare Cinema, the spine-tingling horror event of the summer. Previously, Mick created the Masters of Horror hour-long cable series of fright films helmed by well-known genre directors, including himself. Numerous screenplay assignments led to a career in directing, and he is perhaps best known for his long association with Stephen King, whose novels The Stand and The Shining have been translated by Garris into well-received mini-series.
Mick authored the book, “Development Hell”, which can be ordered from Amazon.com at this link! Mick’s recent books “Snow Shadows,” “Tyler’s Third Act,” “Ugly” and “SALOME” are now out from Cemetery Dance. Mick also executive produced Unbroken for Universal Pictures, based on Laura Hillenbrand’s book on Louis Zamperini with Angelina Jolie directing
Great Folk horror film.
One of the best roles Chris Lee ever had. I’d put it right alongside JINNAH, Saruman, The Duc De Richleau, Rochefort and The Inventor (which always makes me cry).
