UNCUT | The Wicker Man (1973) Movie Reaction
Added 2024-03-27 13:28:07 +0000 UTCHi! I think you'll all enjoy this one as much as I did. 'The Wicker Man' is creepy, very unsettling, but so, so good. Thank you so much for requesting this!
Also, does anyone notice a similarity between this and the later made "Hot Fuzz"? Small town/village that a cop goes to and something weird is happening that turns out to be something sinister. PLUS it also stars Edward Woodward! That could be the reason they chose him, as a nod to this. Edgar Wright loves referencing media he loves.
I've actually just found a interview article with Edgar Wright from 2007 in which this was discussed and he confirms it: https://www.stopsmilingonline.com/story_detail.php?id=801
I don't think many people have seen this, as many places I looked didn't mention this at all.
I'll be filming another segment to cover this, or at least mentioning it through voiceover anyway.
Let me know your thoughts!

Thank you David, you've got great taste! It's superb. I think you'll enjoy my words about it. I hadn't known until afterwards (as you'll hear me mention it a few times) that Hot Fuzz was one of the inspirations of the Edgar Wright film "Hot Fuzz". Oh yes, the music is so eerie, but great! By the way, I'm planning on this being released in edited form to YouTube on 1st May for May Day.
