The Wicker Man’s haunting legacy lives on as Robin Hardy’s long-lost final film, “Wrath of the Gods,” is finally coming to life—thanks to his sons uncovering the script in an attic box. Originally conceived during a Reykjavik emergency landing, the Norse-god-infused sequel was meant to complete a trilogy that began with the cult classic’s troubled 1973 debut. Filming kicked off in Shetland in 2025, blending familiar faces with local talent, but the project carries deep sorrow: it’s dedicated to Justin Hardy, who died last month, and their mother Caroline, who helped shape the original film’s success but never saw its rise. This premiere at FrightFest is both a celebration and a tribute to a visionary’s unfinished dream.
