The Wicker Man is reborn. Or rather 1974 horror cult classic is being released in a steel case book and on 4K Ultra HD.

The original cast stars Edward Woodward (The Fuzz, The Equalizer), Britt Ekland (The Man with the Golden Gun, Get Carter), Diane Cilento (Tom Jones, Hombre), Ingrid Pitt (Where Eagles Dare, The Vampire Lovers), Lindsay Kemp (Velvet Goldmine, Pierrot in Turquoise or The Looking Glass Murders), and Russell Waters (Yesterday’s Enemy, The Avengers).

Here is the official synopsis:

When a young girl mysteriously vanishes, Police Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) travels to a remote Scottish island to investigate. But the seemingly quiet community is not as it appears, as the detective uncovers a secretive pagan society led by the strange Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). While the townsfolk tempt and threaten him with bizarre rituals and wanton lust, Howie must race to discover the truth behind the girl’s disappearance before his clash with Lord Summerisle builds to a terrifying conclusion—one that has cemented this cult shocker as a modern horror masterpiece.
