It's not just the Japanese that can do subtle, slow and creepy horror. Way back in year 73, the British put out The Wicker Man. This one involves a British policeman who visits an isolated island to investigate a girl's disappearance. The local folk adhere to the old ways and our hero slowly realizes that things are a bit odd on the island. Watch this one soon, as there is a remake with Nic Cage coming, which means the ending will likely be known to one and all soon. Neil LaBute is directing which makes me cautiously optimistic. The movie has been moved to coastal Maine, where I can believe some form of lost culture exists. Here is the trailer for the new one. Like I said, get on Netflix, the library or the vid store before it is too late!
