Critic Reviews:
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.
This is a must see movie for every fan of the genre, every fan of film, or just those who desire to be entertained.
Obviously there are a great deal of themes and messages in this film about religion. And in the end the conclusion seems to be that no organized religion is truly moral.
