Horror films with a calm mind never disdain to use sudden bloody scenes and other means to scare people. In this film, the development of everything follows the inherent logic, but the premise here is not the same as ours. For example, we think it is barbaric to sacrifice with living people, they think it is pious; we think it is pornographic for girls to dance around naked in broad daylight, they think it is serious, and so on. These differences all appear in the name of religious ceremonies, and for both sides, there is even less a basis for dialogue. Communication is blocked, and the residents of the island have a hostile attitude towards the police officers without exception-you can't say that there is something wrong with this, defensive heart. In such an environment that was hard to criticize on the surface, but was increasingly uneasy in his heart, the police officer walked step by step to the truth arranged for him by the island owner and the residents of the island step by step with his own strength. From the moment he received the letter, he had already embarked on a path of no return, desperate to the end. This irresistible, irresistible evil, ubiquitous and impossible to attack, is enough to induce fear in the bottom of my heart. Do you feel something wrong with your daily life and can't tell where it is? Have you finally found a way out and feel unreliable? Is there just a difference in opinions between others and yourself, or is there a gap between good and evil? Are all encounters arranged by heaven or arranged by people with ulterior motives? People are most afraid of the unknown because they actually don't know anything, and paganism is only a manifestation of the unknown in the film.
The "wicker man" in the title refers to the humanoid props made of wicker in the end of the film festival. At the moment when the mystery is revealed, the audience knows that the scenes of the police officer and fiancee who seemed inconspicuous at first have other meanings, and they are almost at the same time. The tormented police officer in Willow's singing felt worthless.
I highly recommend the weird "Willow's Song" with a ghostly look here. I'm so nervous. The pornography hidden in it is scary. I will never beat the wall in the middle of the night like Officer Howey. In fact, the entire original soundtrack written by Paul Giovanni is very strong, but this song is so outstanding that it must be specifically pointed out.
Special reminder, don’t watch the 2005 remake
