Frightened away by the gruesome orgy of violence, the hippies waste no time in beating a hasty retreat. Things quickly go from bad to worse, however, when the innocent peaceniks are subsequently accused of committing a massacre that eclipses that of even the Tate-LaBianca murders. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Felix Vasquez Jr., Film Threat
Quite possibly one of the most tedious and nonsensical pieces of Italian cinema that I've ever seen. And yet I found that I just had to see it through to the end...

Don't watch the trailer on the extras, because like so many of these low-budget shockers it shows all the best parts in advance, so why bother watching the rest? Then again, maybe that's not such a bad idea.

Tragic Ceremony isn't scary enough to induce terror, unintentionally funny enough for camp, or bizarre enough for mad surrealism.

Staci Layne Wilson, Horror.com
Rumor has it [the director] wanted to strike Tragic Ceremony from his resume. While it's certainly not that bad, it's not a great fright flick by any stretch of the imagination.
