RITUALS (1977) TRAILER aka The Creeper

There are many kinds of rituals, but there is only one that has no rules... SURVIVAL.

Hal Holbrook leads a group of five doctors who decide to hike deep into a remote area of the Northern woods for a rugged back-to-nature vacation. Once they reach their chosen terrain, they are on their own with only their wits as a means for survival.

Within a short time, a chain of horrifying events begins, leading the men, one by one, to find themselves stalked like animals by an unknown terror. The vacation turns into a nightmare as the men turn suddenly desperate, clinging tenuously to the last vestiges of civilized behavior.

Starring Hal Holbrook and Lawrence Dane

The film has a pretty good set-up and keeps a lot of suspense throughout the movie. The ending, though, was kind of weak.

@sardonicblues25 Code Red is releasing it on DVD next month--you can pre-order it at DVD Empire. I plan on grabbing a copy before they're gone--the company is going belly up this summer (and good luck finding it then).

@FredericaBimble I highly recommend it! The effects aren't at all cheesy, though very minimal. The prints are usually quite faded and dark. Though this might actually add to the creepy atmosphere. The characters are very dirty, sweaty and unshaven for most of the film. Also, since even the protagonists are unlikable, one can feel quite uneasy with each stupid mistake the city-boys make. When the men start turning on each other, little do they realize the horrors that await!

Remember watching this on TV as a kid and laughing my way through half the film. It was the first horror film I ever watched. Thank you community access TV for showing me something this hilariously camp.

Anyone know if Code Red are still going to release this film on DVD. They posted that they will close in 2011. Only 3 + months away.

Really enjoyed this film. Better than Deliverance!
