"29.4. Blu-ray Uusintakatselu. Final cut Sietämätön hihhulikonstaapeli saapuu pienelle tiiviin yhteisön saarelle tutkimaan kadonneen tytön tapausta, mutta päätyy ottamaan nokkiinsa epäjumalallisesta toiminnasta ja keskittyy enemmän levittämään herran sanaa ilmeisen turhaan. Hyvinhän siinä käy. Folk horror -kruununjalokivi ottaa kaiken ilon irti valtauskonnon aseman absurdiuden näyttämisestä. Sympaattisten pakanoiden toimet ovat kristillisestä näkökulmasta häiriintyneitä"

The story is also very effective, and the ending is another great strength, being quite shocking. That is the thing about the Wicker Man, it is bizarre and it is disturbing but that works in the film's favour in alternative to against it. The acting is very well done, as is Robin Hardy's direction. Edward Woodward does a good job as the prudish Sergeant Howie and Britt Ekland is beautifully seductive as the pub landlord's free spirited daughter.
