I might be able to make the Silver Spring showing too. Nice to actually have a showing in MD.

Oooh, this seems like it could be worth a theater viewing.

I've been wanting to see this for forever anyway, so why not in the theater? Works out great.

Doesn't interfere with Nosferatu, either.

I better write this down so I don't forget. Hopefully my Friday/Saturday off stays intact so I can make this.

If it's late enough I'd go during the middle of the week. Just because it's available for a week.

One for me on payday in October - (Same day - 13th!). I think all fans of The original Wicker Man have long waited for this! Shame Mr Woodward is no longer with us.  |

I didn't realize there were other cuts for this masterful film. Such a terrifying ending.
Way better than the Nic Cage movie. Although, to be fair, I haven't fully seen that version. Just clips. Still . . .
I want to see The Wicker Tree someday.
Christopher Lee is great in this, but it's Edward Woodward's show. From beginning to end.
Great addition to the cult sub-genre.
Midsommar owes a lot of thanks to this movie.

This movie was a lot different than what I expected, but still super creepy. I loved it and see why it's considered such a classic
