The Wicker Man (1973)

Watch

Robin Hardy's folk horror, with Edward Woodward and Christopher Lee. A police sergeant goes to a remote Scottish island to look for a missing girl, and the islanders are far too cheerful about it.

It’s sunny, full of songs and really unsettling all at the same time. The island of Summerisle is beautiful, the locals sing a lot, and the feeling that something’s being planned for you creeps up so slowly that you barely notice it.

Make sure you watch the original, and don’t let anyone tell you how it ends.

Wicker Man

Watch it before you go. The ride shares its name and its love of fire, and the film gives you plenty of dread to take into the queue with you.
