The Gathering

Is the haunted expression Ricci sports throughout most of The Gathering connected to her amnesiac character’s bloody visions? Or is it due to the actress’ not having thoroughly read the script before signing on for this long-in-the-can British horror movie? Either way, the principal joys here lie in the photography of the U.K.’s beautiful rural environs, rather than the sub-Exorcist plot or the fairly wasted talents of Shakespearean stage actor Simon Russell Beale and Mackenzie Crook from the original U.K. Office. EXTRAS None.
