Reviews:
“The wrap-around segment actually features a lot more than most in this type of anthology movie. The acting is a bit cheesy during these parts but it does create some decent scares at times. The Red Book Ritual is a really strong horror anthology that honestly doesn’t have a single bad segment, at the worst this ranges from decent to very good.” 4 out of 5, Nerdly
