According to the BBC website, they are finally releasing the "FULL VERSION" of the classic British horror film, "The Wicker Man." This in contrast to the brutalized 80 minute American release and the previously released 100 minute "director's cut."
Apparently - at least according to actor Edward Woodward - the new version is closer to two full hours. I've been unable to find the specs on it so far, but I'm excited. I love British horror from the 1960's and early 1970's - and this is an exemplary piece with its weirdly behaving discordian villagers, the strangely hip Christopher Lee, and the sexually and religiously repressed Woodward as the cop looking for a missing girl.
This ain't a happy fun-time film. But I like it better than Race with the Devil. (LOL) (Which, by the way, appears to be in re-make mode according to IMDB.)
