Ending of the Wicker Man 1973

Yeah...by Oz!

As an animal lover, I find the bit when the pigs start squealing deeply disturbing. And Sg. Howie's death is extremely tragic & hallowing, unlike in the Nic Cage version when you basically WANT him to die!

@DusterPanCake yeah, firstly hes dying in fire. Second hes like a priest but he like loses is faith before he dies. Third, hes dying for ABSOLUTE stupidity.
It's all acting anyway.

what is the point of this movie?

Terrible way to die!

I always found this a rather longwinded comedy, though this ending is good. Lord Summerisle is next if their sacrifice doesn't work.

They--Robin Hardy--are planing a legitimate sequel. The book--very good--is Cowboys for Christ. There are other titles--Riding the Laddie--and--The Wicker Tree--which is probably a "safer" title!

Worth a read if you like this. Not a "true" sequel in that none of the characters from the original movie/book appear. Sir Christopher should make a cameo as the Good Lord according to reports. Hardy wanted him for a lead but it involved a lot of horse riding. Insurance balked.

That's what happens to virgins in the movies..

Where are the bees?

Incredible. They removed Howie saying 'oh god' after he stops singing his hymn. Just kind of goes 'oh...'.

Is this some bible obsessed American shitheadery or what? It's a really important line.
