Great movie. It has an atmosphere that makes for an uncomfortable viewing. The nudity only adds to that, it isn't sexy. It also has one of the best finales I have ever seen, even if I had seen the remake before watching this. Christopher Lee and Edward Woodward give great, GREAT performances.

This one didn't quite work for me. It has a lot of good stuff, but I found it kind of dragged in parts.

Possibly the most disturbing film I've ever seen. The ending is one of those things that just sticks with you long after the credits close (it took me days after to stop thinking about it), despite the fact that there is little else in the rest of the film that makes it technically qualify as horror. There's just something incredibly haunting and mesmerizing about the atmosphere of this film, which is only amplified by the incredibly dark ending that disturbs on multiple levels. The Wicker Man is a masterpiece.
