 'Tales from the Crypt: Ritual' - Zap2it
A time, perhaps, when HBO was just an expensive movie channel rather than the most respected producer of TV drama on the block; a world where a puppet could drop terrible puns, and even more unpleasant sexual innuendoes, with abandon.
It's five years old, having been produced in 2001 as the final nail in the "Crypt" movie coffin, after the middling performances of the first two features, 1995's "Demon Knight" and 1996's "Bordello of Blood," demonstrated that the franchise's TV following didn't translate into box-office clout.
But Tourneur's film was all low-key suggestion and atmospheric dread, and that won't do for a "Tales from the Crypt" movie, so the screenplay by Rob Cohen and director Avi Nesher leans just as heavily on the shocks-and-sex mixture of Wes Craven's "The Serpent and the Rainbow."
