No names, no context, I don't want to shame the person who did this. But I do think that the correct response to "I find you creepy and my friends tell me they don't feel safe in the same room as you" is probably not "your friends are just seeking attention and I have a DBS check".

And it was after the recent rewatch that I saw @Taskerland 's blog post about it at https://tasker.land/2026/08/27/tr-the-wicker-man-1974/ . I agree that "Summerisle is a complete fraud leading the villagers along" is a viable interpretation but I think it's also plausible that Summerisle is a legitimate believer in spite of his grandfather's fakery.
