Ritual is a 2002 horror movie directed by Avi Nesher and starring Jennifer Grey, Craig Sheffer, and Daniel Lapaine. The movie revolves around the story of a young American woman named Dr. Alice Dodgson (Grey), who travels to Jamaica to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her father, a famous anthropologist. Alice arrives in Jamaica and soon realizes that her father was involved in some kind of dark and mysterious ceremony that is linked to the local voodoo traditions. She discovers that her father was studying a ritual that can bring people back from the dead, but that it has catastrophic consequences for both the living and the dead.

Alice meets a local man named Paul Claybourne (Sheffer) who is also investigating the death of his brother, a policeman who was investigating the same voodoo cult. Together, they discover that the cult is led by a powerful and evil voodoo priest named Lucien (Lapaine), who is planning on using the ritual to resurrect an ancient sorceress and unleash her wrath on the world.
