“The Ritual” (* out of four) was a rockbottom bore about a struggling actor (James Edwards) who decides to sell his soul to the devil for fame and success but doesn’t realize what exactly he’s done till (naturally) it’s too late. Static story is basically a three-character monologue between the actor and the devil and angel (Anja Cilia and Filipe Donica) and is a real snooze. Might have worked as a play but as a feature-length film it’s off-putting and empty. Promoted as a horror movie which it is not.
