For the harvest.

About this list

The offering is one of horror's oldest scenes: a cult in robes, a village with a tradition, a family that needs one more death to keep its fortune. The dread comes from how calm everyone else is about it. This is a list for films where people are killed as a ritual offering, and the sacrifice drives the story.
