Don’t worry, it’s not the Nicholas Cage version!
May Day approaches on Summerisle, and its citizens are perturbed by the arrival of Sergeant Neil Howie, a devout Christian who doesn’t take kindly to their paganist traditions. As he searches for a missing child, he uncovers a dark history clouding the seemingly peaceful island.
Christopher Lee delivers an unforgettably sinister performance as Lord Summerisle in this folk horror classic. Considering it to be one of his greatest roles, he was so dedicated to the film that he paid for his own press tour, and hit every stop in the USA willing to interview him about the film. A landmark of British cinema, it’s frequently considered amongst the most significant and beloved horror films ever made.
