Sergeant Howie (Edward Woodward) arrives on the small Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the report of a missing child. A conservative Christian, the policeman observes the residents' frivolous sexual displays and strange pagan rituals, particularly the temptations of Willow (Britt Ekland), daughter of the island magistrate, Lord Summerisle (Christopher Lee). The more Sergeant Howie learns about the islanders' strange practices, the closer he gets to tracking down the missing child.
There is an enormous amount of interest in this film, and rightly so.
It defies a low budget production to deliver that rarest of things in film - atmosphere.
The apparently simple plot-line belies a truly astonishing climax. I have seen this film reduce an entire cinema audience to stunned silence on several occasions.
Edward Woodward gives a performance of such understated power it is difficult to envisage anyone else in the role of Sgt. Howie.
The whole production just weaves its magic spell - music - location - cinematography and direction all combine into a masterpiece.
