4.5/5
"It’s difficult to shake the disquieting climax of The Wicker Man."  Filmcritic.com  Christopher Null

3/4
"The Wicker Man has a few good ideas and a great last act, but everything that comes before it is essentially disposable."  Reel Film Reviews  David Nusair

A
"One of best horror films ever made."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

8/10
"Very intelligent and engaging."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

"A mordant study of theological anxiety"  CinePassion  Fernando F. Croce

3.5/4
"Like many of the best horror/thrillers, The Wicker Man works because it surprises audiences, relying on carefully-nurtured suspense rather than cheap, theatrical shocks."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

3.5/5
"They deliberately cast horror icons to help them break the mold... if you keep in mind its original context, it can be a very interesting film."  7M Pictures  Kevin Carr

4/5
"An astoundingly successful horror film."  Goatdog's Movies  Michael W. Phillips, Jr.

"There are few entries in Seventies cinema in which the efforts, the ideas, and the execution transcend the implications of cheap, genre filmmaking, and there are none as thematically appealing as The Wicker Man."  Not Coming to a Theater Near You  Rumsey Taylor
