THE WICKERMAN (1973) - 9 PM

Starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland

Sergeant Howie arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents' frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow, daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle. The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.

Cinefantastique described The Wickerman as "The Citizen Kane of horror movies", and Total Film magazine named The Wicker Man the sixth greatest British film of all time.
