David MacKenzie - one of Britain's forgotten great directors - debuted with this disturbing, off-kilter, twisted little bastardisation of the road movie and a Wicker Man homage. The director's brother Alastair Mackenzie plays a man driving to a Scottish isle to get revenge on the man who stole his wife. On the way, he meets another man on the run from a gangster. Together, they get lost in the Highlands and end up taking refuge in a weird boarding house, whereby the two get mixed up in disturbingly ritualistic community the house is situated within. The Last Great Wilderness is at one point a blackly comic tale and at another a dread-soaked, atmospheric mood piece. The two merge together effortlessly into a highly recommedable curiosity.
