The Wicker Man

The synopsis: Not to be confused with the disastrous remake with Nicolas Cage, this 1973 horror film sees a British policeman being sent to a British isle known for its pagan customs to investigate the case of a missing child.

The twist: There is no missing girl — the residents of the island lured the policeman there on purpose so they could use him as a human sacrifice in their latest ceremony, which involves burning him alive inside a giant "wicker man" statue. Pretty rude way to treat your guests, TBH.

The amount of damage it'll do to your psyche: 🔪🔪
