Superbly shocking. But I don't see any horror in Wicker Man, for the mood is as far from dread or fearful expectation as it might be. There isn't a shadow in sight. In fact, it's very bright, light and joyful, full of sweet and sensual folk songs and dances - slightly freakish but happily so. Most of the action takes place in flowery, open settings, irradiated by the sun and surrounded by the sea. I never completely bought into the murder or sacrifice of young Rowan, and speculated that the mystery will eventually clear up with no one getting hurt. But I took the bait and fell for the trap, the grandiosese ending revealing how true madness, madness unaware of itself, was in play all along.
