The Need For Rites is an interesting piece that floats in the shadows of the unknown. There’s an eerie atmosphere that’s hard to pin down, a kind of unsettling vibe that lingers with you. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it works for the film's slow-burn tension. Themes around rituals and the human psyche are explored, albeit in a way that might not be immediately accessible. The practical effects have a certain rawness that feels genuine, adding to its unique character. It’s one of those films that you can’t easily categorize, which is part of what makes it distinctive.
