Movietime! >Rituals from 1977<

Rituals

Alright, let's take a look at this...
We have:
5 close childhood friends (All of them docs like old me) out for a nice weekend trip in the canadian backwoods.
Mysteeeeeeeerious events like missing shoes, strange lights and sound from the dark.
One typical "I'll go and get help, you wait here for me" situation...priceless.
SPOILER!
One disgusting sonovabitch doctor-slaughtering-vietnam-malpractise freak who does everything to scare our poor, poor fellow doctores.
Ok, sound like another senseless but nontheless neccessary Deliverance rip-off, and most of the time, especially in the first half, it is. But it feels surprisingly good!
I don't know what exactly happened to my brain when I watched this movie, but I started to like it mucho and I think I still do...
The atmosphere is solid most of the time, creepy at the best parts and eerie throughout the whole movie. We have nerve tingling survival horror in the rapids of the whatever river (did I mention Deliverance?), a long and mean end, a killer who stays hidden most of the time and almost surrealistic near death hiking fun through beautiful nature sets!
Loved the movie, watch it.


Our heroes before...


...and after vietnam-malpractise-revenge-action.

Ah, and please appreciate the awesome acting of Robin Gammel, he kicks ass in this movie.
