As much as I admit to liking cheesy jump scares and sometimes dumb teenager based horror, David Bruckner’s The Ritual is exactly the kind of adult dread jam I was looking for: an unsettling, moody picture that’s beautifully shot, well acted, and drenched in a specific atmosphere that I love.
Utilizing the incredible landscape for some truly beautiful images, Bruckner’s film (based on novel of the same name) mixes elements of things we’ve seen before, executed maturely, confidently, and most importantly—effectively, as vibes reminiscent of (but not riffing on) The Blair Witch Project & The Descent covered in a rural folk-horror blanket of The Witch & The Wicker Man, all framed with a theme of guilt. The Ritual ignores jump scare tactics as our bickering group of men become more toxic as time goes on. This more than satisfied my lurking Deer Monster needs quite nicely and I’ll be revisiting this again soon.

I want to see one of these movies where regular people stumble upon the existence of ancient demigods where they get away from the thing in the first or second act. How do you go back to your normal-ass life knowing that things like that are real and exist in the world? Seems like a much more interesting subject that the umpteenth iteration of 'dudes stumbling through the forest.' Very good Foley work, though. Great tree branch snapping action.
