The Wicker Man: 50th Anniversary Release (The Final Cut – 4K Restoration)

Directed by Robin Hardy

This event is not included in the HOME Film Pass

In the 50 years since its original release, The Wicker Man has achieved true cult status as one of the most revered horror films in cinema history, despite a difficult production and heavily cut original theatrical release. The search for the fabled missing scenes has only added to the myth surrounding a film that still inspires filmmakers to this day.  

Telling the chilling story of a puritan Police Sergeant who arrives on a remote Scottish Island in search of a missing girl only to find the Pagan locals claiming she never existed, The Wicker Man is also much celebrated for its soundtrack, composed by Paul Giovanni and overseen by Gary Carpenter, featuring haunting reworkings of traditional British folk songs. 

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Wicker Man we will be screening a newly restored 4K version of the 2011 Final Cut of the film.
