Lionsgate Films has officially announced and detailed its upcoming 40th Anniversary Blu-ray edition of director Robin Hardy's classic horror film
The Wicker Man (1973), starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, Diane Cilento, Ingrid Pitt, and Britt Ekland. The release will be available for purchase online and in stores across the country on January 7th.
When a young girl mysteriously vanishes, Police Sergeant Howie (Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But the seemingly quiet community is not as it appears, as the detective uncovers a secretive pagan society led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Lee). While the townsfolk tempt and threaten him with bizarre rituals and wanton lust, Howie must race to discover the truth behind the girl's disappearance before his clash with Lord Summerisle builds to a terrifying conclusion - one that has cemented this cult shocker as a modern horror masterpiece.
