Review of Rituals

Rituals (1977)
A very good, overlooked backwoods thriller
6 September 2003
Long before "The Blair Witch Project" became the official 'lost-in-the-woods-stalked-by-evil' movie, there was this poorly distributed low budget gem which deserves reevaluation and should be seen by any serious horror/thriller fan.

A buddy group of medical field professionals trek into the solitude of the forest for a relaxing fishing trip. On their first day out, their boots mysteriously turn up missing, marking the starting point of a tense and distressing game played against an unseen evil adversary. One by one, the men meet grisly fates, and a scattering of vague clues which may reveal the reason behind it all are left to be pondered.

A strong example of it's type which deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as DELIVERANCE.
