Horror in the 21st century tends to be very obvious. The terror is not as effective relying mostly on the violence and gore. The tension is missing. The Wicker Man might come off as a misleading film because it lacks the modern horror tropes.
Sergeant Howie arrives at Summerilse to investigate the disappearance of a young girl, Rowan. The residents deny her existence but the Sergeant continues his investigation. He learns the inhabitants of Summerilse have abandoned Christianity and are Pagans. He witnesses their rituals which lead him to believe the Rowan's disappearance is far more sinister. With a mixture mystery and religion The Wicker Man leads to an unexpected ending that is truly shocking.
