The Ritual

Post by CarlosDelgothoes »

British horror on Netflix. 4 lads acting the mag in Sweden in memory of their dead friend go up against Norse mythology demi-god monster thing. Thoughts?

Heard good things. Not on Netflix across the pond though, so haven’t had the chance to see it.

Would fuck with the recent non-Us shows or 'originals' they've licensed have been better than their original US dramas

Very solid campinghorror with good characters. This is what a good Blair Witch film would look like. Some people seem to have problems with the third act but it worked for me.

Not quite as good as the underseen Canadian backwoods masterpiece Ritual, which I assume the director might have seen.
Whether to Jason of Philaflava or John Podesta, I will speak my fucking perspective openly

Last ten minutes are cheese, but it's entertaining.

Pretty much. Maybe the last 20-30 mins but I’m not watching again to verify.

Watched this last night. Worth a watch if you haven't bothered yet.
