Description
About The Wicker Man 's soundtrack. The Wicker Man is distinct within both British horror cinema and, indeed, British cinema more generally, for the manner in which its music and sound design enhance and colour the mythicalmagical scenarios it represents. More than this, its soundtrack operates to represent and thereby offer clues as to the particular manipulations of social mores, spirituality and customs it offers.
