The Ritual
CriticsCritics: 66
AudienceAudience: 6.3
After losing a friend, four college friends reunite for a hiking trip in a remote forest. When they take a shortcut, strange visions and a menacing presence begin closing in, forcing them to confront fear, guilt, and the dangers hidden among the trees.
My takeYou’ll likely enjoy this if you prefer atmospheric, character-focused wilderness horror with mounting dread, though fans of The Blair Witch Project may find the creature-focused payoff less satisfying; Not for you if you dislike slow builds or ambiguous mythology.
