Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Man was one of those unique genre films that defined what was so great about seventies horror; it was atmospheric, disturbing and more importantly had the legendary Christopher Lee (Dracula: Prince of Darkness, Lord of the Rings). Movies that good seem to get remade nowadays, which is exactly what happened in 2006 when Nicolas Cage starred in Neil LaBute’s remake of Hardy’s film. Now we have The Wicker Tree, with Hardy returning, a fresh young cast and Lee reprising his role as Lord Summerisle.A popular young gospel singer, Beth Bootheby (Brittania Nicol) decides to take her talents along with her cowboy boyfriend (Henry Thomson) across the world to the Pagan worshiping Scottish town of Tressock. Both are strong, celibate, promise ring wearing Christians who would just like to take their religion and very gently shove it down the throat of the pagan villagers. Not a good idea, especially with the towns history of treating outsiders.
