Has anyone seen Sacred Rites? Is it any good, i know nothing about it? Whilst i like Legend of the Witches, i have it on dvd but it's not something i'd look to upgrade purely because it is only a documentary and doesn't merit a lot of viewings in my opinion. |

Yeah, saw it some years ago at a screening as part of a Fantastic Films Weekend at the Media Museum in Bradford. It's an exploitation 'documentary'- i.e the whole thing looks laughably staged and there's a lot of nudity. Funny and kitsch but it's not the kind of thing I'd race to buy on blu-ray. There's a good write up of it in a recent book- "The Bodies Beneath"- by the people behind the BFI Flipside.
