What is the name of the movie similar to Deliverance set near Sault Ste Marie Ontario?
The Movie was "Rituals",starring Hal Holbrook,Robin
James,Lawrence Dane...etc,
set in the area of Batchewana to Wawa.
The Movie's script was written by Ian Sutherland,a playright
from Sault Ste. Marie.
It's story line: 5 doctors re-unite in the wilderness, [who were
part of a MASH Unit in the Korean war]were targeted by a "patient"
who sought revenge on them for leaving him a hideous
and deranged monster.He picked them off....one by one,in
grotesque and sadistic
ways.
Not a bad movie,but it's debut at the Algoma Theatre in Sault
Ste. Marie shocked
the small town prudish audience,that cringed in the overuse of
profanity and the "F"
word. It was filmed at a time when "coarse language" was not
accepted in theatres
nor television.It was compared to Deliverance,in theatres about
the same time.
