The Wicker Man

I must say, Neil is a much stronger man than I am because I would have folded INSTANTLY when that baddie was inviting him to her room. Watching as Neil becomes increasingly unsettled and frustrated by the mystery and pagan rituals of the island was absolutely amazing. This movie builds horror almost purely atmospherically and through great storytelling, rather than gore, which was very effective and explains why this movie remains a classic of the horror genre and a pioneer of the folk horror subgenre, serving as yet another example as to why the 70s and 80s were really the golden age of horror cinema.
