Oh no, it was one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen and for several years completely changed how I saw folk music.

I think a lot of it was to do with how many characters round where I live are like the policeman, hard line Scottish not-on-the-Sabbath Presbyterians and it's a hard struggle putting up with them (their homophobia for instance). I identified much more with the Lord of the Isles which made the end scarier. I wanted him to burn even though he'd done nothing wrong. That was what scared me.

I had a similar-yet-opposite experience - the Howie-types I know IRL being essentially decent people, despite their flaws. Some of them even in law enforcement and - like Howie - always seemed capable of putting aside personal prejudices when it came to their professional lives. So I basically rooted for him despite him being kind of a prick (though in justice to Edward Woodward, a lesser actor wouldn't have been able to pull off such a flawed character yet still make him sympathetic).

Plus I spent the whole film in serious doubt as to whether Summerisle believed any of the stuff he was feeding the islanders; it came off to me as more like a religion-placebo he used to keep them happy. Which made him much harder to view sympathetically. (Although YMMV on whether having the blind faith to wholeheartedly believe in the awful stuff they're doing makes characters more or less sympathetic....?)
