MOVIE REVIEW: We suffer frightening familiarity with horror 'The Ritual'

No emotional connection to cast and nothing on screen we haven't seen before in the possession-themed genre. Young (Dan Stevens' Father Joseph Steiger) and old (Al Pacino's Father Theophilus Riesinger) priests team up to save a possessed young girl (Abigail Cowen's Emma Schmidt) - so far, so The Exorcist. ‌ If only The Ritual was half as gripping, scary and engaging as that horror classic. ‌ Inexperienced director David Midell's film is set in 1928 but truthfully I kept forgetting this as there is so little separating it from dozens of other possession-themed outings. ‌ The main selling point of The Ritual for me was seeing Pacino make a mainstream comeback. Sadly, he looks and sounds worn out and bored - if you want to see what the legendary actor can really do in a religious horror flick check out his barnstorming turn in The Devil's Advocate instead. ‌ Midell co-wrote the script with Enrico Natale and it claims to be based on true events - 'one of the most documented possession cases in American history'. So little is done, though, to make you care about any of the characters and there is absolutely nothing here that we haven't seen on screen before. The most impressive thing about Midell's movie is that he attracted Pacino and Stevens to star in it. ‌ Stevens, in fairness, is the cast standout, with Father Steiger, having just suffered a personal tragedy, being conflicted with saving Emma and the drastic measures being taken to do so. As with any possession-afflicted victim on screen, Cowen's body is shaken and twisted from pillar to post but, as her plight is so familiar, the emotional connection just isn't there. Ashley Greene's ( Sister Rose) only purpose seems to be suffering physical abuse at the hands of Emma and all Patrick Fabian's ( Bishop Edwards) presence does is evoke memories of his role in the vastly superior The Last Exorcism. ‌ I really tried to give The Ritual the benefit of the doubt but as a horror fan who has been down this road so many times, I actually felt frustrated and fed up sitting through it. If you're new to the possession film world maybe give it a go; otherwise grab that holy water and crucifix to keep it at bay. ● Pop me an email at and I will pass on any movie or TV show recommendations you have to your fellow readers. *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

Parents say summer holidays were more fun before the internet

Two thirds of parents believe that summer holidays were more fun before the internet and social media, with 53 per cent saying they had to be more imaginative. And the survey reveals the nostalgic ways that Brits used to entertain themselves during the summer holidays before the internet, with playing hide and seek all day (44 percent), setting up a tent and camping in the garden (35 percent), choreographing dance routines just for fun (27 percent) and building a den in your sitting room (29 percent) all keeping Baby Boomers and Generation Xers busy for hours. Other ways that previous generations fought boredom, according to the survey by Boundless, include choreographing dance routines (27 percent), playing hopscotch (24 percent), baking a cake and being allowed to lick the spoon (24 percent), playing British bulldog (23 percent), going to the amusement arcades (22 percent) renting the latest hit film from Blockbuster (22 percent) and organising a kick about in the park, with jumpers for goal posts (21 percent). 39 per cent of mums and dads think technology is stopping modern kids from relaxing, while 36 percent think they have less freedom. On average, modern children spend five hours a day in front of a screen during the summer holidays leading eight in ten (77 percent) of mums and dads to believe that entertaining the kids during the summer break means either resorting to letting them play on screens or spending a fortune on screen-free activities. Darren Milton at Boundless, said: 'Many of us remember long summer holidays filled with simple pleasures - building dens, playing hide and seek or exploring outside until teatime. But for today's families, striking the balance between screen-free fun and affordability can be tough.'

Alexander Isak NOT on Newcastle pre-season tour as Liverpool transfer target stays home

Alexander Isak has NOT travelled with Newcastle for their pre-season tour of Asia. There are reports that Isak, 25, is nursing a thigh injury little over a week after Liverpool made an approach for his services. It comes just days after Newcastle boss Eddie Howe sent the striker home because of the 'speculation' surrounding his future. Isak had been involved in the Magpies' training camp in Austria. Newcastle insist that the Swede isn't for sale and would demand at least £125million - a British record - if they were forced to sell. Isak was left out of Newcastle's squad as they faced Celtic in their second pre-season friendly on Saturday, as they suffered a 4-0 thrashing. Howe's men are due to play Arsenal in Singapore at 12:30pm on Sunday. Newcastle will then play two matches in South Korea, facing the K-League All-stars and Tottenham. But Isak won't be involved, with the club reportedly concerned over how the long-haul flight could impact the Liverpool target's injury. Isak has also been linked with a big-money move to Saudi Arabian heavyweights Al-Hilal. Following the Celtic defeat, Howe explained: "It was my decision. He travelled back to Glasgow with us but I decided to send him home due to the speculation around him. "The last thing he wanted is to be sat in the stand watching, that wasn't fair to him. But I'm confident he will be a Newcastle player come the end of the window. "It's difficult for me to give 100 per cent clarity on any player. Alex is happy at Newcastle, he loves the players, the staff, the team. I'm confident he'll be here at the start of the season. "Yes, I've had discussions with him but that's not abnormal. I respect a player's career and how short it is. Alex has been really good, he's trained really well and I realise there'll be noise around him." Isak also didn't feature when the Magpies hosted non-league side Carlisle United in a behind-closed-doors friendly prior to their visit to Austria.
