Full Plot Details

A group of doctors go on a camping trip in the deep forests. There they have fun. They brag about each other's fields n at the same time their conversations revolve mostly around medical malpractices, unethical surgeries n they even mock patients except for Harry (Hal Holbrook). Unaware to them, a stalker has been hearing their conversations. Now the place they had gone is in the middle of nowhere according to their pilot who dropped em earlier. So it seems our stalker might be not just another ordinary citizen. Later the doctors realize that their boots are stolen n someone has left a deer carcass on a stick with a snake around it, the symbol similar to the Staff of Aesculapius, the symbol for the American Medical Association. So this confirms us that the stalker is aware of the doctor's history from overhearing their conversations. The stalker leaves x-ray taken from a military hospital, medals n discharge papers, a message meant for doctors with callous attitudes regarding their trade. The doctors soon realize they are being hunted by an ex army person who first wants to degrade them before killing them but our Harry, a war veteran himself, won't let the madman enjoy their degradation.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 10/10 by Jeff Nan excellent horror film straight from the 70's. The 70's were known for the horror films and Gore films. This film here is a forgotten classic. Sure it has a cast of unknowns but it's a better way to spend a Sunday night watching a horror film called Rituals
User Review - 10/10 by Jukka HViisi lääkäriä lähtee viikon patikkaretkelle tietämättä, että heitä seuraa yksi kauhuelokuvan historian kammottavimmista hirviöistä. Erämaakauhun kuningasteos pyyhkii lattiaa samoihin aikoihin julkaistulla tunnetummalla sukulaisteoksella The Hills Have Eyes. Saksa-dvd:n kuva on ihan kamala, tässä olisi Criterionin paikka julkaista remasteroitu blu-ray.
User Review - 8/10 by Bill BNow I want my epitaph to say "SUCH A GENTLE BOOB".
User Review - 8/10 by James LA Canadian classic and a personal favourite horror movie of mine, Rituals has that special creepy quality you just don't get anymore that comes from great acting and using the elements of nature as great cinematography. 5 doctors go on a camping trip together for a vacation away from it all. But their plans isn't the plans of someone else. Or something else. Torturing and horrifying events plague the doctors who look for help through the woods, but find themselves only doing exactly what they're expected to do. Rituals is kind of like Deliverance, but without anyone squealing like a pig. (if you get my drift) But this incredibly freaky horror movie keeps you wondering what is trying to kill them, eventually unfolding a puzzle that needs some thinking, but is pretty smart and very intriguing. You don't really see any goss slasher violence, you see the aftermath of violence. Rituals isn't just a horror but a psychological thriller that tests survival and morality, and that is shown to the fullest because of some incredible small time but talented actors. The star, Hal Holbrook, plays a very interesting, hard as nails character with a stubborn and prideful moral code. All the actors are great and play off eachother and their situations nicely, and talk about moral decisions that makes Rituals smarter than your average horror movie. The best thing about good Canadian horror movies is that they use what's best about Canada as their key element. Like how Black Christmas was filmed during winter, Rituals was filmed in the great outdoors in the woods of Ontario. And don't get me wrong, this is an inexpensive movie, so what you see is mostly what you get. The actors go through everything! The dark woods, raging rivers, burnt out and rocky areas all WITHOUT SHOES! But this movie was still beautifully filmed. Great cinematography through the whole enviroment, capturing many, MANY hard scenes with in very good angles. I spacifically like the scenes shot on the river and crossing the burnt out forest. The score is a little too retro, sometimes working, sometimes awkward, but when it fits it really makes the scene good. You won't find any of the horror cliches here. Rituals is a rare horror that relies on its unpredictable and horrifying scenes that gets you under your skin by its excellent directing. Rituals is a small Canadian jewel. It's not a big movie with star studded cast. It doesn't rely on blood splattering gore or sexy scenes to keep you interested. Rituals is the best kind of horror that gets in your head to frighten you. And this movie doesn't loose its steam. This horror movie has true quality because it only gets better and more interesting the more you watch it.
User Review - 8/10 by James OI'm going to admit it right here and now: I did not like Deliverance that much. I think this was the reason I went into Rituals expecting nothing much. Actually, this movie is FREAKING AMAZING! The body count is higher than Deliverance, and I can live without seeing Ned Beatty r*ped by a hillbilly. Plus, this one's got Hal Holbrook! There are some really epic scenes of suspense, and a shocking head-on-a-stick scene. Now, I'm not really sure if if the killer in this is dead or not. (SPOILER) In the end, Hal's friend is burned alive by the maniac, as Hal grabs a double-barrel and fires at a strange figure. The figure turns out to be horribly burnt, and collapses on the floor, dead. Now, was this our mysterious killer, or was it Hal's friend? I think it's the killer, if you ask me. (SPOILER OVER) Overall, I highly encourage you to watch this film. I think it was recently released to DVD (and not part of the Drive-In Movie Classics Set), so it's highly recommended.
User Review - 8/10 by Jon HBasically Deliverance in Canada but without the rape, it's pretty good.
User Review - 8/10 by Camden NGood solid Canadian takeoff on Deliverence. You know, without the butt raping and the pig squealing-like. Actually, more than just a ripoff, it's a good movie on its own and really only shares the premise of "Bunch of guys go camping and shit happens"with Deliverence. The copy I downloaded (a murky, muddy vhs rip in which the night scenes are almost indecipherable...so much so that I didn't get the apparently crazy twist/reveal at the climax) has the title "The Creeper". That title makes no sense...although, now that I think about it, the title Rituals doesn't really mean anything either. Oh well. Man, I love me some 70s Canadian tax shelter horror! Shot, apparently, just about 15 minutes from my home town. Can we get a cleaned up, widescreen DVD of this? It took a while, but Silent Partner came out on DVD, so howzabout this?
User Review - 8/10 by Christopher BHaving missed the screening of the Canadian slasher film My Bloody Valentine because of a major power outage here in Toronto, I decided to quench my thirst for Canadian horror by rewatching this Deliverance inspired flick. I first heard of this in Stephen King's fantastic Danse Macabre book, where he makes the bold statement that he liked this more than Deliverance. Granted, I wouldn't go that far, but Rituals' got the goods. Anyway, once a movie's over 30 years old, who cares if it's a rip off? And Deliverance has spawned some great films (including this one) that were inspired by it. Southern Comfort, Hunter's Blood, Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The list is endless. Rituals has some great performances, good dialogue and a gripping atmosphere. And it's nice to see a film about a group of adults (doctors no less) rather than teens stalked by a killer. Highly recommended to fans of horror and survival movies.
User Review - 8/10 by Kim DUnjustly forgotten, Rituals is a remarkably mature piece of late 70's backwoods horror in the vein of Deliverance. It is very much a character-driven piece, and the compassion and mettle of five doctors is tested when a mysterious stalker derails their trip. Suspenseful, bleak, and at times brutal, Rituals boasts good performances and grand, sweeping visuals. The final revelation of the stalker is quite satisfying. Ahead of its time: One of the main characters is gay. His sexuality is not used for shock value, but functions merely as part of a description of him as a person. A person that is tolerated and respected by his straight male companions, no less. Beware: Rituals is very hard to find, and at this time, there is no good transfer available. If you get a copy, be prepared for a bumpy ride with muffled sound and a scratched up picture. This movie definitely deserves a much better release than the ones available.
