Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
In this sleekly designed, sub-Cronenbergian sci-fi pic, Candice Daly's investigations into her sister's death from an alleged drugs overdose draw her into the twilight world of Neurovid, a kinky satellite TV channel inspired by Videodrome. Aided by a sympathetic cop (Steinmetz), Daly tries to discover the secret of the ultimate thrill, known as The Ritual. The sex is mildly perverse, the tone coldly cerebral, with a fine debut from the striking Daly, and strong support from Barry Dennen as The Major, Neurovid's icy supremo.Author: NF
