(1973) (The Wicker Man) رجل القش

The Wicker Man (1973)* follows devout Christian policeman **Sergeant Neil Howie** (Edward Woodward) as he investigates the mysterious disappearance of a young girl, **Rowan Morrison**, on the remote Scottish island of **Summerisle**. Confronted by eerie locals—including **Willow MacGregor** (Britt Ekland) and the enigmatic **Lord Summerisle** (Christopher Lee)—Howie uncovers pagan rituals, unsettling secrets, and a community that refuses to acknowledge the child’s existence, building toward the cult classic’s infamous folk-horror climax. Directed by **Robin Hardy**, this chilling blend of mystery, religion, and rural dread remains a landmark of 1970s British cinema.
