Watch it tonight. The Wicker Man is a genuinely unsettling masterpiece of folk horror that gets under your skin in ways modern scares can't match—those stellar critical scores aren't lying. It's deliberately paced and weird, so if you want jump scares and explosions, skip it; but if you're after something genuinely original that'll stick with you, this is essential viewing.

Plot

Police sergeant Neil Howie is called to an island village in search of a missing girl whom the locals claim never existed. The investigation is further complicated as Howie’s religious views clash with those of the island’s residents.
