Review of The Ritual (2017) by Vds — 11 Feb 2018
It was nice to see a group of jittery 40 something British idiots wandering around the woods being offed one at a time, as opposed to the usual group of jittery 20 something American idiots suffering the same fate. Apart from that, nothing much to see here.
It’s all been done before, sometimes better and sometimes worse. The wee beasty doing the offing wouldn’t scare your grandmother, and neither would the witchy mumbo-jumbo that supported its existence.
The main character had a bit of a back story, but it didn’t make me care about him. As for his hapless mates, every time one of them died it was a relief – fewer expletive laden panic attacks to bear.
So, bad but not terrible, instantly forgettable ‘horror’ nonsense.
