THE RITUAL



The Ritual (2017) is a buddy film that quickly degenerates to a "lost in the forest" horror film. I hear/see echoes of The VVitch, the epic poem Beowulf, Midsommar, and European fairy tales and myths. It's plenty weird and I liked it, but I'm not sure this will be everyone's cup of tea.

I keep thinking about the creature that is eventually encountered. It is like nothing I've ever seen before and that allows for some crazy things to take place!

Streaming on Netflix.
