It really is difficult to take this seriously...
The abysmal music, the campy accents and those wigs!
This has achieved an inexplicable cult status - truly, inexplicable.
But...it is the ending that really does make it rather special!

The(ir) Blurb...
Sergeant Neil Howie arrives on a Scottish island looking for a missing teenager girl, Rowan Morrison. The place belongs to Lord Summerisle and is famous because of their plantation of apples and other fruits and their harvest. Sgt. Howie realizes that the locals are pagans, practicing old rituals, and Rowan is probably alive and being prepared to be sacrificed. The end of the story is a tragic surprise.
