In the 1970s, Scottish police officer Howie (played by Edward Woodward) received a letter stating that Ron Morrison, a girl on the summer island, a small island on the west coast of Scotland, had been missing for a long time. Ask him for help to solve the case. Howie came to Xia Island to investigate and found that the atmosphere on the island was very strange. The residents first said that they did not know the girl, and then said that the girl was dead. But Howie did not find the girl's body. The whereabouts of the missing girl became increasingly unclear. The truth of the case is getting more and more confusing. Howie was surprised to discover that the residents of the island were a group of The Wicker Man who did not believe in Jesus Christ. Lord Summer Island (Christopher Lee) seems to have great power and prestige. They did not cooperate with Howie's investigation. When Howie was about to leave the island, he discovered the tradition of using living people to worship in the island’s May Festival. He was ready to find out, but he didn’t know that the danger was approaching him.

The works that "Rusty Lake" pays homage directly, the sacrifice of living people, the huge and poetic sacrificial items, the animal headgear and the setting of the desert island are all the same. The whole film has a strange atmosphere that makes people breathless. Horror movies about cults like this always make me feel very scared. This is something that human beings have come up with and can't get through. The more I understand it, the more terrifying it becomes. What is even more terrifying is that when you come to this lonely island of lost humanity alone, it seems that you are the abnormal heretic.

The film tried to explain paganism from the perspective of Christianity, and it turned out to be a very primitive thing. Scientists, asexual reproduction, reproductive worship, pagan sacrifices... These factors that conflict with modern Christianity are mixed together to form a so-called pagan religion that is difficult to self-consistent in its belief system and has no foundation or attraction. There is neither reflection on Christianity nor knowledge of paganism, so I can only watch it as a thriller.

Sergeant Howie: [in the burning Wicker Man] Oh, God. I humbly entreat you for the soul of this, thy servant, Neil Howie... who will today depart from this world. Do not deliver me into the enemy's hands... or... . put me out of mind forever. Let me not undergo the real pains of Hell, dear God, because I die unshriven. And establish me in that bliss, which knows no ending. Through Christ, our Lord... Damn you! Damn you! DAMN YOU!

Miss Rose: You are the fool, Mr. Howie. Punch, one of the great fool-victims of history. For you have accepted the role of king for a day. And who but a fool would do that? But you will be revered and anointed as a king. You will undergo death and rebirth. Resurrection, if you like. The rebirth, sadly, will not be yours, but that of our crops.
Sergeant Howie: I am a Christian. And as a Christian, I hope for resurrection. And even if you kill me now, it is I who will live again, not your damned apples.
