Horror fans are invited to watch one of the all-time classics as they've never seen it before during a special screening at Tyneside Cinema this weekend.
The independent Newcastle cinema will be showing The Wicker Man on Sunday to mark the film's 50-year anniversary. And in celebration of its milestone the chiller has been restored to ensure that the famous movie is seen at its scary best.
The 1973 film, starring Edward Woodward, Christopher Lee and Britt Ekland, focuses on a police officer who takes a boat trip to the isolated Scottish island of Summerisle to investigate the disappearance of a girl. There the puritan policeman is shocked to find the islanders follow pagan beliefs instead of Christianity while his inquiries seem to run into a brick wall at every turn.
