The Wicker Man (1973) is one of the most disturbing films ever.
It’s so intense that it turns Midsommar into a joke.
The film was heavily butchered by the studio for its initial release.
Studio head Michael Deeley disliked it so much that negatives and outtakes were allegedly dumped as landfill under the M3 motorway.
It was later rescued partly thanks to a print found by Roger Corman. Restorations (including the 2013 “Final Cut”) pieced together a longer version.
