Thomas L @PoodleBoy 2d Unconvincing, contrived and poorly executed, starting with the ungrounded screenplay, a disconnected storyline, poor acting and an ambiguous ending that leaves too many loose ends. See more Judy Q @ZeeThatGirl Jun 29 I had high hopes seeing Morgan Freeman in a crime movie, but even he can't save this. It's a hot mess of terrible acting, a storyline that jumps all over the place, weird extra bits of info about characters that ultimately don't really add to the story, and an ending that makes absolutely no sense. I only watched the whole thing hoping it would redeem itself with an interesting ending, and it was unexpected, but was completely bizarre and unexplained. What an odd film.

See more Gabriel S @Sanarel Apr 19 Sometimes, even Morgan Freeman has to accept a side-job. With budget estimated at 17M USD, probably most of it going to Freeman, one can understand why though. We gotta pay our bills. Except Director George Gallo that grossed too little for its endeaveour. The story of The Ritual Killer follows broken detective Lucas Boyd in the pursuit of a ritualistic serial killer. Old stuff, nothing new in this storyline. The serial killer apparently follows some African-descendant-type of ritual said to give focals power. Or whatever the hell it is. Morgan Freeman, of course, is compelling, but even he was just off with this whole mess, and his participations feels like a try on capitalizing this flick – it flopped. Everyone else is playing serious, and the movie itself is super serious, but the plotline just doesn't work. Such a mediocre piece could only end in the worst possible way: with an off-screen resolution. The closing scene is a huge what the F is happening here to wrap this piece.

But just a fun movie with Gore and a slight twist at the end I enjoyed it, I think anybody who can like a good B movie would enjoy this. The critics who pick a part of everything or the wants that sound cool won’t like it or will like it and try to pretend like they don’t like it, but I enjoyed it. I say if you like a good horror movie, that’s not gonna win an Oscar, but it’s fun to watch. This is one of those. See more Kate B @RT64152655 Mar 27 I thought this was going to be a great movie with Morgan Freeman starring but it was awful after a quarter of the way in and the failed attempt at a clever twist at the end was beyond stupid. Honestly, that ending couldn't have been any more cringingly stupid! See more Read all reviews
