I remember only a few things. It’s set in a modern time. One scene is the character in a cemetery, they look at the headstones and see that they died every year on the same day. The other scene I remember is the character in a village or town square. A group of people are around. Each person has a stone. I believe they are going to stone someone.  
Possible ritual or such kind of thing.  
Saw it on tv when I was younger. I’ve checked every movie finder site for years and no one knows what I’m talking about. Please help!!!

Possibly a film adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s story [The Lottery](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lottery)

Anthony Spinner’s feature-length TV film _The Lottery_ , which premiered September 29, 1996, on NBC, expands upon the original Shirley Jackson story. It was nominated for a 1997 [Saturn Award](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturn_Award) for Best Single Genre Television Presentation.
