Hello people. I'm studying The Wicker Man for my dissertation. I wasn't really getting anywhere so i've decided to look at it from a fans POV and its cult status. i really need some help and would love to use some of your answers as quotes in my essay so if i write a few questions below, u think you can answer them as thoroughly as possible. It will help me so much. Thank You

1. Have you heard much about the wicker man's history? (don't tell me about the history, i already know....hopefully you will know what i mean.)

2. What do you think about the film The Wicker Man in terms of its cult status today and are you a fan yourself?

3. Have you been on a Wicker Man tour?

4. Do you believe the missing footage is still out there today? Does someone have it or is it dead and buried?

Not many questions i know, but try and write quite a bit so i can quote you.

Thanks for all your help

The truth is that I never heard of it.JM

The wicker man is one of my favourite films, typical of british drama at the time and very effective. There was alot of stuff on tv like this in the 70's.

The ending is incredible, very realistic and disturbing, knowing that this has gone on before and will continue is chilling.

I havent taken the tour.

Lol, it doesn't need remaking, it's a cult classic.

Old news anyway, he has been up for the role for over a year now, just official now.

This is the only thread I could find on the original Wicker Man.

Question - What the F*CK does Howie scream at the end. To me it sounds like he screamed "DAMIEN!". Who was Damien? Gay lover? Who knows?

I've read that he said "Failure!" or "Jesu!" but whoever suggested these must have bad ears. Here's a link to people discussing this at the shit-hole known as IMDB:

Any official word from writer or director? It's bothering me.
