The Detour

1979 · 34 min Horror

During a school outing, Dominic’s [John Galdes] pet dog Rameses – which a sculptor [Adrian Rendle] has sketched for a work depicting the Egyptian dog-headed god Anubis – runs away. While looking for the animal, Dominic visits the sculptor’s home, and on seeing the finished sculpture experiences a premonition of evil. That night, however, he has a dream about a religious revelation at the Miraculous Grotto, and the next morning goes to the site to find Rameses unharmed.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Detour is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1979. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
