I love this music. Ritualistic paganism woven through it that fits the film perfectly. To me it is a little spooky but the real horror is at the end. I remember that first viewing very clearly and wasn't expecting it. The sheer terror that awaited Howie's fate as he rose to the top of the hill in full sight of The Wicker Man. An absolutely superb film and I can't recollect another film that's similar or even comes close from a plot and musical standpoint. Robin Hardy directed this film superbly!
An essential horror film. The level of discomfort during this scene- the dancing of punch (the fool) and the droning walk of the villagers. Cinematic glory, and auditory magnificence.
