The good news for Robin Hardy fans on both sides of the pond. The Wicker Tree, his follow up movie to his cult classic 'The Wicker Man' is released this month on DVD, but those in UK have a chance to catch both films back-to-back, at a special “Audience with Robin Hardy” event at The Prince Charles cinema – Wednesday 25th April. Not to shabby at all! Full details on how to get hold of tickets at the link below.

Synopsis: Gospel singer Beth and her cowboy friend Steve, set off from Texas to enlighten the Scottish heathens in the ways of Christ. When they are welcomed with joy and elation to the village of Tressock, the border fiefdom of Sir Lachlan Morrison, they assume their hosts simply want to hear more about Jesus. Beguiled by beautiful, sexy Celtic music, in counterpoint to the bluegrass hymns Beth sings to them, she is elected Queen of the May. Meanwhile an increasingly doubtful Steve becomes her consort, destined to be hunted on horseback by the whole community in a ritual he believes to be an innocent race. Neither of them realizes that these honours are being heaped upon them for a purpose that will lead them to a terrifying end...
