Ritual is a fun movie to watch. I won't say that I was perched precariously on the edge of my seat for the duration, but there were more than a few moments that made me jump and effects that left me just the right amount of nauseated! Harley Kaplan gives his character, Nick Brass, a kind of mid-western-college-kid innocence that culminates into the best part about this film; it is somehow a "cute little horror movie." It's frightening, funny, and has the requisite dose of indy-horror cliche to make it a film that everyone should spend 58 minutes of their life experiencing! If you get the chance, check it out along with any other Harley Kaplan movie!
