30 days Of Unseen Horror
Day 30
Rituals-1977-Movie-7.jpg
Every year five old friends meet for a little reunion this year it's a fishing and camping trip deep into the Canadian wilderness . The five friends are all doctors in various fields of medicine. On the first night in camp the joke and laugh about medical mistakes they have made and mock some of their patients all apart from Harry who doesn't find any humour in these stories. Unbeknown to the party someone is watching and listening to from the darkness and doesn't take kindly to their mockery or the misfortuneate people they have mistreated. While down by the river all their boots are stollen and a slaughtered deer with a snake around it's neck is left behind that resembles the image of the American Medical Association they then know the person responsible knows what they are. What follows is a race to survive while they are picked off one by one Harry is the one who takes charge and tries to keep everyones heads above water while he struggles to keep his own sanity in check.
This is one intense trip the acting is amazing watching these men try their best to hold it together with even the toughest ones struggling to stay on the level. Every single performance is so believable and realistic no one is a hero these are normal men doing what they can to survive they are scared out of their minds they don't know what to do the way they constantly argue shows how fragile they are.
This is shot so beautifully the scenery the sounds of the woods even the sound of the river crashing over the rocks all makes you feel like you are there in the middle of it all with the group. Some of the scenes are very haunting and will stick with you long after the end credits roll with that beautifully haunting music that accompanies them making you reflect on what you have just watched.
A must watch.
