The Wicker Man (1973) streamed on Shudder - 5/5
This is a fantastic film. Edward Woodward is a Scottish police officer investigating the disappearance of a little girl on a private Scottish island known for their delicious fruits and vegetables. Upon arriving to the island he notices a strange obsession with sexuality that is very uncomfortable to him and his Christianity. Realizing there is more to the disappearance than originally thought, he is introduced to the Lord of the island played by Christopher Lee. Amazing performance by both actors. Lot's of hot nudity here. The officer suspects there may be some kind of sex cult and attempts to leave but of course they will not let him. I know there is a remake of this movie but they are worlds apart. This is a fantastic film, I can't believe I'd never seen it. Not really a "horror" movie, more like a cult thriller.
