Robin Hardy’s long-awaited sequel to his cult 70’s horror flick ‘The Wicker Man’ arrives on DVD and Blu-ray this April. Anchor Bay will be releasing ‘The Wicker Tree’ onto disc stateside from the 24th April. The follow-up was helmed by returning director Robin Hardy and worked from his own novel ‘Cowboys for Christ’. Graham McTavish, Honeysuckle Weeks, Brittania Nicol, Clive Russell, Henry Garrett, Ailidh Mackay, James Mapes, Keith Warwick, Keira McMillan, Jacqueline Leonard and Prue Clarke all star along with the returning Christopher Lee. In additional ‘Wicker’ related news the on-location pub used in the original movie back in 1973 is up for sale for £200,000 ($316,000). Sadly however it doesn’t include a naked Britt Eklund (below).
“Two young missionaries from Texas head to Scotland to educate the Scottish heathens in the way of Christ. They are initially charmed by the locals in the town of Tressock and agree to become the local Queen of the May and Laddie for the annual town festival. But the couple are not prepared for the frightening consequences of their decision and the very disturbing secrets they are about to discover about Tressock’s seemingly friendly townspeople.”
‘The Wicker Tree’ is due to hit DVD and Blu-ray from 24 April in the US.
