I love that movie in a way I am completely sure is not healthy, but not in a fanatic way. Even though Christopher Lee is usually a bad guy (but is being an overprotective dentist father really bad?), he played Lord Summerisle beautifully. And I completely did not see him as a bad guy. But yeah, cultural context -- I never saw the movie as a Christian. Or as a Scot, but that would be impossible, inconceivable, really, because I've never been a Scot. But I did appreciate Christopher Lee wearing a kilt. And the blend of accents. Scottish, British, Swedish... well, they're all Northern European so they could be on a small island together! Anyhoo, I have never met a Pagan yet who actually thought the movie was a horror movie. Of course, I've never met a Christian who thought it was either... come to think of it, I know a few Buddhists who have seen the movie and didn't think it a horror movie... The movie industry and reviewers call it a horror movie. Christopher Lee has said numerous times that his favorite role he ever played was Lord Summerisle. Even after having played Saruman.
