The Wicker Man (1973)

In this film, Sgt. Hugh (Edward Woodward) faces a different path in his life by arriving in the small island of Smersisle in Scotland to investigate the report of a missing child. It seems that things will be quite strange as the inhabitants of the town did not claim the presence of this child with more rituals that occur there and they seem quite strange rituals.

The gothic ambiance and mood synonymous with the era's familiar tales of unholy menace is wholly absent. If there is evil here, it doesn't know it's evil.

Like many of the best horror/thrillers, The Wicker Man works because it surprises audiences, relying on carefully-nurtured suspense rather than cheap, theatrical shocks.
