Find out how you can help us help more people by signing up for a subscription One of the masterstrokes of Hardy’s film is to embed us entirely with Howie’s increasingly harried point-of-view. Each step forward in his investigation – as Howie uncovers the heathen rituals overseen by Lee’s sybaritic Lord Summerisle, and becomes convinced that poor Rowan is to be the subject of a ritual burning on Mayday to revive a stalled crop cycle – feels hard-fought and hard-won.

The film tells the chilling story of a puritan Police Sergeant who arrives on a remote Scottish Island in search of a missing girl only to find the Pagan locals claiming she never existed.

Despite a difficult production and heavily cut original theatrical release, the film has achieved true cult status in the 50 years since its original release, making it one of the most revered horror films in cinema history. World Premiere – Sunday 30th April It’s great to see a mixture of ages seeing a classic movie on the big screen, although I don’t think some people were expecting the long Q&A before the movie. One woman shouted out after the Q&A when the film was about to start, “About Time”, slightly disrespectful in my point of view as the Q&A was mentioned in the booking for the movie and of its length. Personally, for me, I loved the Q&A and it became part of the experience of such a classic. I review a wide range of media including movies, TV series, books and videogames. I'm a massive fan of author Hunter S. Thompson and I enjoy various genre of videogames with Kingdom Hearts and Harvest Moon two of my all time favs. The May Day series shows the influence of European and near eastern religions & cultures on the pagan traditions of Britain. The series forms a loose narrative, a connection between the past and present, using literal, metaphorical, and spiritual symbolism. A second generation 35mm intermediate positive produced in 1973 was used to replace a small section with unrepairable damage in the original negative. The additional footage is sourced from 35mm prints, which are the only known sources for this material. Colour grading and restoration were completed by Silver Salt Restoration UK who dedicated over 500 hours to fix physical damage to the 35mm negative, manually clean and remove dirt, sparkle and scratches. The colour grade used was previously approved by Robin Hardy and replicated here.
