Pet Rituals

A group of friends seeking a thrill gets more than they bargained for when they break into an abandoned funeral home. Inside, they unleash an ancient evil that begins to stalk and torment them. As the night wears on, they must find a way to survive the supernatural forces hunting them.

Pet Rituals is a low-budget independent horror film that garnered a mixed to negative reception. While some praised its atmospheric tension and attempts at a unique premise, many critics found its pacing slow, its acting unconvincing, and its scares derivative. It is generally considered a niche film for hardcore horror fans willing to overlook its production limitations.

• Relies heavily on atmosphere but struggles with a coherent plot.

• Performance issues and a predictable storyline detract from the scares.

• A slow burn that doesn't quite ignite into compelling horror.

Google audience: Audience reviews are sparse, but those available suggest viewers found the film to be a very basic horror offering with little to distinguish it from other independent supernatural thrillers. Some appreciated the creepy setting, while others found it uninspired and underdeveloped.

The film was shot on a very limited budget, with much of its cast and crew being aspiring filmmakers looking to build their portfolios.
