Robin Hardy's The Wicker Man was ignored when it was first released but is now considered one of the folk horror classics. The movie is set on a remote Scottish island, where a police officer arrives to investigate the disappearance of a young girl. He finds himself drawn into an odd pagan cult. This chilling atmosphere and performance by Christopher Lee made this film a classic piece of horror. Its disturbing ending, unsettling visuals as well as the theme behind religious extremism, have catapulted it to fame and even turned it into a quintessential cult horror movie.
