this movie isnt as bad a people are saying. its not really scary just creepy throughout the whole thing. SPOILER!!! in the end the one character is burned to death as an offering. that parts kinda disturbing. but other than that its not really that bad, especially if its one of your first scary movies. id recommend it.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Wicker Man
Parents need to know that the plot sets up an agrarian cult of women who sacrifice humans and animals to a "fertility goddess." The eventual sacrifice is harrowing, as the victim is dragged, beaten, tied up, and burned to death (this scene is potentially scary for kids, as it uses sounds and blackouts). The film begins with a violent accident, in which a car with a mother and child inside is slammed by a truck and catches fire; this scene repeats as the witness/cop suffers flashbacks throughout the film. Island women menace the cop, who responds by pulling his gun and eventually fighting them physically. The cop discovers a dead body with bloody eyes (in close-up). Several tense scenes and arguments. One f-word; assorted other profanities.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the functions of cults in popular culture. How is Edward an ideal victim for this group, as he wants to "help people"? Why might it be significant that the women are associated with "fertility"? Why are horror movies so popular in general?

Shouldn't even been made
This movie was seriously the worst movie i have ever seen.I think this movie should never have been made. It was stupid, weird, and just plain right wrong. The idea in this movie was where this community of women believed in an island goddess and the women find men and get pregnant with them. Then they trick the men into believing that they are going to sacrifice there daughters but there actually trying to sacrifice the men.Now is that something you would want to watch i dont think so. So take my word for it and dont buy or watch this stupid movie. You'll regret it. Im sure i do.

Waste of time
Aside from this movie being semi-inappropriate, it was just bad. It portrays men as evil or mindless, does little to provide insight on parts of plot (or lack thereof), and has scenes that aren't tied to the rest of the movie.
