Any suggestions for films that are similar to this? Wicker Man has a great, eerie, unique atmosphere and I'm wondering if there's anything comparable out there?

I'd second "The Tenant."

also "Rosemary's Baby" and "A Boy and His Dog."

The latter is a post-apocalyptic science fantasy flick. You'll love that ending!

reply

Yes, Rosemary's Baby.

I second Race with the Devil. The difference is that there's not a major twist at the end, but it's basically The Wicker Man in Texas (unwitting people find themselves at odds with pagan villagers over human sacrifice).

Easy Rider.
Straw Dogs.

The Tenant (1976) by Roman Polanski has a similarly haunting atmosphere, though the Wicker Man is truly unique as others have pointed out.

reply

I found The Tenant one of the most unsettling films I have ever watched. And yes, I've seen The Wicker Man, which is also truly unique. The Tenant left me with an unpleasant aura which took ages to dissipate. I just couldn't shake the un-ease off. Haunting atmosphere indeed.

I realise this isn't a recent thread, but... Dead and Buried is a film which definitely reminded me of The Wicker Man. It's not quite the same (nothing is), but well worth a watch.

Spellbinder (1988) with Timothy Daly & Kelly Preston

What movie would be to Hereditary what the Wicker Man is to Midsommar?

reply

Rosemary's baby perhaps ?
