Movie Club - The Wicker Man (1973)
10/25/20 • 67 min
It's Berktober here at Berkreviews.com, and that means Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) are focusing on horror. This time, the theme of I'll Show you Scary forced Jonathan and Corey to dive into the Rotten Tomatoes top 100 rated horror films for the movies on the list that they've not seen. There are many on the list that both Corey and Jonathan love, but they had to pick some more obscure ones to fulfill the requirements of the show. Will that turn out to be a good thing or a bad thing? In past years, they've not enjoyed some highly loved horror films (listen to their Phantasm and Suspiria episodes), but who knows what they'll find in these selections.
As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
Week 4 - The Wicker Man (1973)
The only film on the list that one of the duo has seen before, Corey picked it to check The Wicker Man (1973) off her gap list. Plus it sits at number #77 with an 89% RT score. It is directed by Robin Hardy and stars Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee, and Diane Cilento. The synopsis reads "A puritan Police Sergeant arrives in a Scottish island village in search of a missing girl who the locals claim never existed."
