SPECIAL HALLOWEEN SCREENING AT THE FILM CENTER
Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents’ frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders’ strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.
“Part folk musical, part occult chiller, and quite mad.” – Daily Telegraph
“A British golden-oldie worthy to be placed alongside classics such as Ira Levin’s The Stepford Wives or Rosemary’s Baby.” – Guardian
