The Ceremony is About to Begin borrows heavily from the dynamic found within Creep, with the inclusion of Egyptian artifacts helping set it apart from the crowd.

Rated: 3/5

Dread Central

Like The Sacrament meets Creep, but with mummies, The Ceremony is About to Begin unearths an intriguing premise yet trips here and there over its loosely bandaged together structure.

Rated: 3/5

Morbidly Beautiful

Reminiscent of great faux documentary films like "Creep", this disturbing but darkly funny film takes the viewer places they are not prepared for. Big points for originality. It's low-budget and low-tech, but that only helps create authenticity.

Rated: 3.5/5

If you love ‘Creep’, you’ll love this. It’s not as great as that but short, and creepy sweet. And like ‘Creep’, it’s got an amazingly dark ending, a little too dark though, I almost feel sick actually

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Why found footage films are still a thing all these years after 'The Blair Witch Project' is baffling. At least Blair Witch had novelty to recommend it. Surely today no one seriously buys into the conceit that someone fighting for their life would keep filming. As for 'The Ceremony Is About To Begin', there is some tension generated in the movie relating to the increasingly ominous dynamic between the two main characters, but that build up is effectively punctured by a denouement that is just plain silly.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars
