Sacrifice (2016): Radha Mitchell and Ancient Pagan Ritual in Scotland


     Directed by Peter A. Dowling, Sacrifice (2016) is a decent thriller with an ancient twist. The story concerns a woman in the Shetland Islands of Scotland who finds a bizarrely mutilated corpse buried on her land, branded with ancient runic symbols carved into the flesh. At first, the bog-preserved body is thought to be an archaeological find, an ancient Norse sacrifice, but the subsequent investigation reveals a more sinister and modern element… with the so-called "Shetland Rite" descendants still in existence and still practicing pagan sacrificial ritual. The cast does a good job overall, including Radha Mitchell and Rupert Graves.
