Can Howie now stop the cult’s ultimate sacrifice before he himself comes face to face with the horror of The Wicker Man? There are some great moments with the cast in the film and Christopher Lee was always a scene stealer for me when watching the movie it was amazing to see him in the role on the big screen, Lee said that he considered this one of his greatest roles. An extremely uptight Christian, Howie is shocked at the pagan goings-on on Summerisle and is frustrated every which way: sexually, as he tries his darnedest to resist the advances of the landlord’s daughter, Willow ( Britt Ekland), as well as at every turn in his investigations by the lying locals and the charming Lord Summerisle ( Christopher Lee).
