The Wicker Man (1973)

Author: Kristian Boruff October 16, 2020 Duration: 1:01:45

Boruff's choice for best horror film from 1969-1980 is the timeless classic of Celtic horror, The Wicker Man. Carlsen finds a link to his favorite band, Neurosis. The fact that Boruff picked a Vashti Bunyan-style folk-horror-musical is not lost on Zach.

It's wonderful! But will it win?
