Terrible cult
Since I saw this movie in film class, I really regret it to the extreme, probably the last regret I have done since freshman year. Coming out of the classroom, the sun is shining, but I feel the creeps. I really hate watching horror movies. Why did I not fall asleep while watching the movie this...

The Wicker Man
Officer Howie received a letter requesting an investigation of the missing girl and then went to Summerisle in the west of Scotland. After getting on the island, it was like Alice falling into the rabbit hole. Everything happened before him. Beyond his imagination. Unlike what happened to Alice,...

8/10. The angry accusation from the police detective near the end of the film created a feeling of being captured by the devil, and the power of faith was so strong that it would not arouse the fear of murder among the followers. Here [The Wicker Man] is a romantic horror film. Romanticism breeds in the wild group P of naked crops under the wonderful light and red fruit in the dark. Children are tied with ribbons and trees, animal masks and other rituals. Paradoxical joy is like the collapse of the entire rational world.

The works that "Rusty Lake" pays homage directly, the sacrifice of living people, the huge and poetic sacrificial items, the animal headgear and the setting of the desert island are all the same. The whole film has a strange atmosphere that makes people breathless. Horror movies about cults like this always make me feel very scared. This is something that human beings have come up with and can't get through. The more I understand it, the more terrifying it becomes. What is even more terrifying is that when you come to this lonely island of lost humanity alone, it seems that you are the abnormal heretic.

Miss Rose: You are the fool, Mr. Howie. Punch, one of the great fool-victims of history. For you have accepted the role of king for a day. And who but a fool would do that? But you will be revered and anointed as a king. You will undergo death and rebirth. Resurrection, if you like. The rebirth, sadly, will not be yours, but that of our crops.
Sergeant Howie: I am a Christian. And as a Christian, I hope for resurrection. And even if you kill me now, it is I who will live again, not your damned apples.

Lord Summerisle: Welcome, fool. You have come of your own free will to the appointed place. The game is over.
Sergeant Howie: Game? What game?
Lord Summerisle: The game of the hunted leading the hunter. You came here to find Rowan Morrison, but it is we who have found you and brought you here and controlled your every thought and action since you arrived. Principally, we persuaded you to think that Rowan Morrison was being held as a sacrifice because our crops failed last year.
Sergeant Howie: I know your crops failed. I saw the harvest photograph.
Lord Summerisle: Oh, yes. They failed, all right. Disastrously so. For the first time since my grandfather came here. The blossom came, but the fruit withered and died on the bough. That must not happen again this year. It is our most earnest belief that the best way of preventing this is to offer to our god of the sun and to the goddess of our orchards the most acceptable sacrifice that lies in our power.
