Roughing it.

There sure are a lot of horror movies that discourage you from ever going out into the wilderness. Hell, I'm even in the process of making one myself! But today we'll focus on this big reason.


RITUALS AKA THE CREEPER is the show of the day!




                               

                                                                        And here it is!


RITUALS is a 1977 film starring Hal Holbrook about a group of friends on a trip into the wilderness that run into some psycho that hunts them. It is DELIVERANCE on a nastier scale.


It starts off innocently enough when the men's boots go missing but it quickly escalates in seriousness as they encounter various traps and pitfalls. It then turns into a survival film before the climax which goes right back to straight full on horror again.

There's some cool screenshots I could share for this film but it would spoil the fun. This film is better if you go into it not knowing any more than a general synopsis, which I just provided. It's a film that is long forgotten and unknown nowadays.

I love this film. It's mean. It's dirty. It's survival horror at its best. And well worth your time to watch it. This film is a real treat and it took some digging on my part to find it online for you. I'm glad I did and I hope you do too.
