Review of The Ritual (2017) by Nikolai H — 17 Mar 2018
Good, solidly chilling film. Good atmosphere building, nice dream imagery that hints at something deeper and even more disturbing beneath the surface, but never quite broaches it. A bit weaker and a bit cliched near the end - but the truly imaginative and creepy "creature" made up for it.
I can't help but feel there was a missed opportunity to dig into some of the more unique psychological points here, perhaps exploring a stranger and more surreal ending than the rather simplistic (even obvious) one we got.
Still - an enjoyable and intriguing experience all around.
