A Ceremony Best Left Unattended

The Ceremony Is About to Begin" (2024) is only 70 minutes long, yet it somehow feels much longer. The protagonist makes one dumb decision after another, while the antagonist is so over-the-top goofy that it's impossible to take him seriously. Instead of being scary, the film leans on gross-out moments that add nothing of value. One cult member says she regrets not leaving earlier-something I completely related to. I kept hoping it would improve, but it never did. By the end, I was just relieved it was over. If you're looking for real horror, skip this. This ceremony isn't worth attending, and neither is this movie.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

I don't even know how to properly review this abomination of a film. How can I properly convey just how dreadful it is, and how it defiles every single element that makes for an enjoyable movie? I just don't even understand how movies like this actually get made, and why anyone funds them.It's bad enough that found-footage seems to be the haven for broke and talentless auteurs to make vanity projects for as little money as possible, but this has to be up there with the very worst the sub-genre has to offer. With FF movies, at the very least you are guaranteed believable acting, as many people just play themselves or versions of themselves, which often adds to the (albeit, fake) authenticity. But for a movie with a cast of less than 5 people, everyone was absolutely horrendous, the two male leads were just bad and had very weak scene presence, and nothing about the movie seemed like it was given any actual creative consideration. The script was bad, the Egyptian motif looked cheaply made and poorly designed, and the film itself was only an hour and 10 minutes, but not a single horror element occurred until the last 20 minutes of the film, and only lasted for 10 minutes.I paid $3 for this and I still felt jipped. I wasn't expecting a best picture Oscar nominee, but I was at least hoping I'd be entertained. Instead, I'm writing this review at the credits roll, not caring about anything else that's transpiring on the screen. It was all just so utterly abhorrent, I am going to make it mission to avoid anything made by anyone responsible for this movie to prevent any future disappointment.An hour of yapping to only be given 10 minutes of the absolute worse horror I have seen in decades left a very sour taste in my mouth. I cannot recommend this film to anyone, not even as a goof. Please stay as far away from it as possible and do not waste your time on it like I did.
