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.

Rites of Spring (2011)

Starring: AJ Bowen, Anessa Ramsey, Katherine Randolph
Director: Padraig Reynolds

Premise:
A group of people kidnap the daughter of wealthy couple for a ransom. They hide out in an abandoned building waiting for the payout. What they dont know is the farm next door in the process of a yearly sacrifice to the monster who watches over their crops.

My Take:
Two fairly thought out story lines (kidnapping for ransom and a kidnapping for a sacrifice) meet up in the third act of complete chaos. It's interesting and watchable.

Rating: In the middle
