Well I watched the 'Final Cut' today and other than a few 'slivers' of footage.It's more of a reshuffle than anything else. The good news is-it works. I personally prefer the 'Director's cut' with the Police Station at the start. But hey what the hell,I love all three cuts. The Blu Ray restoration is a revelation.Absolutely stunning and fitting for the greatest film ever made. The new extras are good,with 'Worshipping The Wicker Man' being the standout. Ben Wheatley doesn't feel sorry for Howie.He's firmly on the side of Lord Summerisle.....something that anyone who has seen KILL LIST should know. Applause to everyone who produced this wonderful package!

Nice review indeed Nos...but has anyone associated with the film actually admitted that Pinner's book was indeed the influence?

Unfortunately Anthony Shaffer wasn't alive to participate and confirm or deny the extent of its influence, but Robin Hardy seemed quite happy to talk about Rituals in the commentary, never saying it had nothing to do with the film.

Shaffer and Hardy's version of things always collided and as Shaffer's not here anymore.... I'm positive I read that Shaffer always denied having Rituals as an influence....

It's possible that Anthony Shaffer never read the book, but Robin Hardy did, so it was an influence, though only in the way it was directed. I guess we'll never know.

Got home from college a bit ago to find this waiting for me IMG_1706.jpg But, seeing as I'm working with my mate again for the rest of the week, I won't get to check it out for a few days
