One of the most controversial films of all time, The Wicker Man, released on 4th September 2006 by Optimum Home Entertainment, has had an enduring fascination for audiences since its release in 1973, commanding a devotion that most films can only dream of.

A unique and bone-fide horror masterpiece, the film can now be seen in its original theatrical version and the Director's Cut including 15 minutes of footage that was thought lost for decades!

When a young girl mysteriously disappears, Police Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But this pastoral community, led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee), is not what it seems as the devoutly religious detective soon uncovers a secret society of wanton lust and pagan blasphemy.

Can Howie now stop the cult's ultimate sacrifice before he himself comes face to face with the horror of The Wicker Man?

Brilliantly scripted by Anthony Shaffer (Sleuth, Frenzy) and featuring an astounding performance by the legendary Christopher Lee, director Robin Hardy's atmospheric use of location, unsettling imagery and haunting soundtrack gradually builds to one of the most terrifying and iconic climaxes in modern cinema.
