The Ritual

"I was disappointed, it wasn't enough in any direction. It was creepy but bordered on boring in the first half. Then when it tried to show little bits of gore, it was lacking in that department as well. Then the mystical hallucinations or dream sequences just made things more confusing. Finally, the creature itself was underwhelming, teetering on stupid looking. 4/10"

"Superbly creepy! "

"I love that this movie created such an isolating feeling. The scenery of the forest truly made my skin crawl and the sound effects were chilling. However, I expected a lot more from this movie on my scare scale. I wanted to be thinking about this movie for weeks, as promised by other reviews, but I don’t believe I will. The next horror I dive into has to do with something other than grief. Seems to be a recurring theme, which is fine, just wanting something fresh and really out there. I’d give this a try for a lazy afternoon though. Don’t completely write it off your list! "

"3 out of 5 stars "

"This was one of the few movies that had a jump scare that actually made me jump. "

"the feeling of dread was with me the entire way through."

"Good movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. I definitely would have wanted to punch Dom in the face too. "

"Truly creepy. I was lost for words over this one and I honestly still am. I think it’s best to go into this movie pretty blind. It’s both physically scary, and psychologically frightening and puzzling as well. "

"It was interesting how they involved PTSD with a horror creature. I kinda only watched it because it said Sweden in the description but I've never seen mountains where my family lives. Anyway Nordic scary symbols and Blair witch project vibes in third person. "

"A chilling movie. Very appreciative of the Norse mythology."
