Not much I really remember about that movie other than Ingrid Pitt's dance. - steve 9-23-2019 11:31 pm [add a comment]
I had to look it up, and while there is a Mayday sequence, I guess the sacrifice is actually at the summer solstice (they sing Sumer Is Icumen In) to ensure a good harvest in the fall. Poor Edward Woodward, he fulfilled all the requirements to be sacrificed: he came of his own free will, with "the power of a king" (by representing the Law), is a virgin, and is a fool. And what a fool; if he'd slept with Britt Ekland when he had the chance, he'd have been safe.
If you liked wicker man, try children the damned.

VotD is pretty good. Very British sci-fi. Always enjoy George Sanders. The original book was called The Midwich Cuckoos, playing on the fact that cuckoos are brood parasites, laying their eggs in other birds' nests; had to be dumbed down for a movie title. - alex 4-14-2021 3:04 pm [add a comment]
