Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

A buddy-pic with four brooding guys hiking in Sweden. They get lost, things start to get trippy and then go downhill from there. The story starts out with a Bigfoot vibe and then moves a little into The Hills Have Eyes territory, but it still feels original as it weaves in some mysticism and the supernatural. For my taste, there was more swearing than was necessary (the first half anyway) and the accents were a bit hard to decipher for this Yank. I also would have liked the girl at the end to have had a bigger part, with perhaps more explanation or development. Overall tho, it gets a hearty creature feature recommendation from me!

Just watch this movie if you are in for a good old eerie, occult atmosphere. For me watching The Ritual resulted in a satisfying movie night. FINALLY. Haven't seen anything like it for a while (The Witch perhaps.. ). As for films, I was craving something dark but enchanting. And I was happy to find one of the best takes on the friends & a scary forest genre. The Ritual really lured me into a mystery, right from the start. Some parts in the end were even quite touching. Not gonna spoil, it's really worth the try.

Familiar storyline building on the survival horror genre, but surprisingly well executed. Well worth a watch!

If you like scary movies in the woods give this one a go. I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. Good tension build up, very good setting of the mood. Good acting.
