The Wicker Man - Director's Cut & Theatrical cut
It is time to keep your annual Jack in the Green appointment with us and The Wicker Man! This year, choose from a Director's Cut version or a Theatrical Cut - or both!
Director: Robin Hardy
Cast includes: Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Britt Ekland
84 Mins /1973 / UK
Our annual Jack in the Green screening of the cult horror classic, The Wicker Man, screening as part of our Cult Cinema Weekend.
The ultimate in Folk Horror, join us on Sunday 4 May for two screenings of The Wicker Man. The film follows a devout police sergeant’s search for a missing girl on a remote Scottish island—only to uncover a secretive pagan society with dark intentions. As mystery and ritual intertwine, the tension builds to one of cinema’s most unforgettable climaxes. Haunting, provocative, and steeped in eerie atmosphere, The Wicker Man remains a must-see cult classic.
Join us at 3pm for the lesser seen Director's Cut, delving into Sargeant Howie’s religious background and exploring the mythology of Summerisle in more depth, and/or come along to our screening of the more intense, story driven Theatrical Cut, that same evening!
• Sun 4 May 3pm The Wicker Man (1973) Director’s Cut
