The Wicker Man (1973)
Still the best-known example of a folk horror film, and still as chilling as it was over 50 years ago, Robin Hardy’s British classic made barely a blip when it was first released, despite its intriguing mystery premise and a cast that included the well-known likes of Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland. It was certainly too out-there for the Academy, which ignored this future occupier of many a “top 10 greatest horror” list completely. Rent or buy on Prime Video.
