A hyper-violent cult thriller soldered to a light-hearted romantic comedy, Blood Ritual is notable for the jarring ease with which it switches between these registers – deftly choreographed fight scenes rife with dismemberings inexplicably transition to screwball bits about failed driving tests and…severed fingers. The queasier bizarro version of Miami Vice, in which a pervasive mood of cultic paranoia is punctuated by instances of perplexing humor and synth-ballad breaks.
