The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

Rituals (1977)

AKA: The Creeper

Starring: Hal Holbrook, Lawrence Dane
Director: Peter Carter

Premise:
A group of doctors take their yearly vacation to a remote part of the Canada wilderness for a hike. Soon they discover that another person is out there and has plans to kill the group.

My Take:
Holbrook shines in the lead role but the other characters just seem to bicker, complain, and are too one dimensional to actually care about there demise.
The film is absolutely beautiful with all the wooded scenery.

Rating: In the middle
