The Wicker Man vs. The VVitch: The true form of fear hidden in the Folk Horror behind witches and pagan symbols --- alienation, and the uncertainty of modernization

Police officer Howie from the West Highlands came to the isolated Summerisle Island to look for a missing girl. However, as a devout Christian, he was shocked to discover that the residents here worship Celtic paganism; the answer is that Howie was lured to Summerisle as a sacrifice, and in the end, the hunter became a prey. As an authority figure from a civilized Christian society, policeman Howie found himself in a retreating environment in a rural village where...

Make people look forward to

Good film.

The first is the scenery.
The aerial photography of the opening shows the stunning scenery of the Scottish Highland Islands.

Then there is suspense design.
very classic.
The rat catcher finally discovered that all of this was a trap, and he was the target of the arrest.

Then there is the conflict of values.
In this film, it is the so-called conflict of beliefs.
I have always disliked those who believe in God and bid themselves to...

"The Wicker Man"-whose faith is a disaster

The underestimated works in the history of film all symbolize their ideological transcendence and avant-garde, and being remade is an affirmation of their value. This 1973 Wicker Man depicts the horror behind religious beliefs in an attitude of not seeing blood, not hunting down, and the cruelty to infidels under the conflict of beliefs can still be explored in India and Pakistan.

Witchcraft and religion in the movie "Hearts"

As a classic of "cult" horror movies, the 1973 version of "Hearts" "grafted" the bonfire ceremony popular in the Scottish Highlands during the pre-Christian era into the 20th century in a weird but mysterious way. On an isolated island in the 1970s.

In the 1970s, a Christian police officer received a letter asking him to come to Summer Island, a small island on the west coast of Scotland, to investigate a girl who had been missing for a long time. The police officer came to Xia Island...

After looking at the wicker man for ten years, I discovered the cuteness of the minor

(British version in 1973, not to be confused with Nicholas Cage's shit remake)

Needless to say, the classics and artistic conception of this film are wonderful. Go directly to the lyrics translation. You should know where you have seen it.

1. The Landlord's Daughter

(The shopkeeper’s daughter appears, the whole audience sings in turn, and the little boy plays the violin)

Much has been...

With the memories of Midsummer Night, it is inevitable that the first 70 minutes were flat, but the reversal was really beautiful, from suspense to thriller, rough and silky, I thought the police's rigidity destroyed the atmosphere, and the last few minutes of collapse formed a strong contrast. And shocked. . Compared with the hideous-looking executioners, a group of elated people help you bathe and change clothes, singing and dancing around you and burning you to death is too scary. . British...

It's so weird. They advocate freedom and nature, which is different from ascetic and serious Christianity. Christians who are considered orthodox eventually die at the hands of a group of pagans because they like...

It can also be the same as "The Exorcist", the alienation of belief will never frighten the people of the Celestial Dynasty who believe in Marx's ideas. ....

Mixing 35mm and 16mm is more terrifying than paganism itself, and of course once a film is labeled cult, you'll never be able to speak of a technically incomplete...

On IMDB, the teen group ratings for cult thrillers seem to vary widely between males and females depending on the gender of the hapless protagonist (see Pagan, The Tenant, Vertigo, etc.). This is the effect of adolescence on the opposite sex....
