There are a few reasons for Hardy’s influential touch. So as an early teen Hardy influenced me greatly with a single hour and a half of film. I remember how strange and dreamy the whole thing was, and the way in which its songs mixed into the creepy story to make something altogether different from anything else I’d ever seen at the time. When I was young I remember catching this movie on some channel, whether it was Show Case here in Canada I can’t be sure likely, but not positive. It’s the influence of his mysterious folk horror The Wicker Man that endeared me to him permanently. Honestly there’s nothing else he’s done that I’ve particularly been interested in. Upon hearing Robin Hardy passed today, I was torn up. If you head on through expect for that to get talked of openly. This review is going to talk about the ending later. British Lion Film Corporation.ĭISCLAIMER: as of this writing it’s been 43 years since the release of this classic, so if you haven’t see it I really don’t even need to tell you about any possible SPOILERS!
