any other fans of from 1973? i love how the islanders break into song at every opportunity for jovial paganism. okay maybe it's all a bit silly but the end is awesome, and the film's message is interesting; in the scenes with the lord, the stubborn dogmatism of the christian police officer seems more ridiculous and arbitrary than the religious beliefs of the islanders. interesting stuff. |

Scariest film ever. I keep hoping that a helicopter will come to rescue him. But no - he gets roasted by a bunch of bible bashing nutters. |

boards of canada should do an alternative soundtrack for it. the moods fit exactly: all rural and scottish and beautiful, but with undercurrents of menace and sinister things afoot. |

ehm.. but this isn't like that "gingerbread man" film, where I sit and expect a gingerbread man, and there is no gingerbread man, 'cause he's only a story, right? |

but really, he's the bible bashing nutter... until the killing starts, of course. |

Christ man. Isn't this the internet after all? \Wick"er\, a. Made of, or covered with, twigs or osiers, or wickerwork. Each one a little wicker basket had, Made of fine twigs, entrail['e]d curiously. --Spenser. |

***SPOILERS*** It's a great film. Brilliant folk soundtrack too. Fun facts: A script for the sequel does exist, and the copper is still alive, albeit horribly burned. They are/were planning a remake in America, with the pagan community being out in the deep south. However, this wouldn't be as good, as the yanks never were pagans- it was catholics who emmigrated there... so there would be no indiginous pagan belief. There was a real wicker man near where I used to work in Somerset. Funny little villages around there... |

The cover of Geogaddi is influenced by a scene in the movie, |
