Some G. It started off just fine. A little tropey but, that’s to be expected from a lot of horror films. The characters fit the typical archetypes, but lacked depth and weren’t much more than that: an archetype. The creature wasn’t quite what I expected, but that’s more of a personal gripe rather than a critique of the film. What absolutely killed it for me though was the ending. Zero resolution and, IMO, incredibly anticlimactic. Of your a horror fanatic who loves the tropes, this is probably a fine watch. For me though, it was very underwhelming and predictable. Which is a shame because I think it could have had potential if it wasn’t so poorly executed.

Not much bad to say about the film its just not perfect. I will say watching this film for the second time high, was a trip. The amazing mixing of the two different worlds, ughh so good. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Brad H What an underrated horror gem. No big actors but great performances from all the cast, managing to develop characters better than the entire Mission Impossible franchise in much less time. Great build up of tension and beautifully shot in Romania (better subsidies than Sweden maybe?). Epic creature reveal, loved seeing this thing on screen even though it ends up virtually in broad daylight by the end. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/02/25 Full Review Aluna U Based on Adam Nevill’s novel, The Ritual follows four friends hiking Sweden’s Kungsleden trail who unknowingly enter the domain of a mythical jötunn creature named Moder. The film builds tension effectively through eerie atmosphere and gradual conflict, as strange events lead to a terrifying discovery. Though the horror setup and character development are strong, some action scenes and dialogue fall short. The mystery of the forest dwellers and ritualistic elements remain partly unexplained, leaving lingering questions. Still, it’s a chilling and worthwhile watch for fans of myth-based horror.

BUT. The movie turned bad when we saw the full thing i thought the fear factor wasn't there in the end but I enjoyed the story. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Ryan S. THIS MOVIE WAS REALLY GOOD TO BEGIN AND TURNED INTO A BIG PILE OF GRABGE. They made a whole story line with actual scary things happening and then BOOM a big animated dinosaur looking thing is the monster in the movie. This movie had so much potential and they completely ruined it with the terrible CGI dinosaur demon at the end. NOT ONLY THAT the movie ended in 3 seconds after the main character gets involved with the final boss (terrible animated dinosaur thing ) Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/10/25 Full Review Read all reviews
