Interesting facts

Ritual is a 2002 American horror film directed by Avi Nesher. A remake of the 1943 film I Walked With a Zombie, it stars Tim Curry, Jennifer Grey, and Craig Sheffer. It was released in select countries in 2002, the Philippines in 2003, and released direct-to-DVD in the United States in 2006. Subsequent home video releases added a newly filmed intro featuring the Crypt Keeper from Tales from the Crypt, though it was not produced as a Tales from the Crypt film. The film is set in Jamaica, and follows an American doctor who takes a job at the estate of a pair of local brothers, where a mysterious illness appears to consume the residents.

Production

In January 1998, it was reported that RKO Pictures and Miramax had entered into a co-financing and distribution deal to remake 12 films from RKO's library with one of the titles identified being 1943's I Walked with a Zombie. According to then RKO CEO Ted Hartley, there was a limited amount of time left on the copyright of several of these films which spurred the rush to remake them.
