Ritual

About This Movie

Ritual (2017) dives into the dark corners of a small town plagued by the ominous presence of a serial killer dubbed 'The Harrower.' It's got this tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that really pulls you in. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to the unsettling vibe, making you feel the weight of the fear hanging over the town. The practical effects are pretty solid too, giving a grittiness you don't always see in modern crime flicks. The performances are decent, somehow balancing the dread with a sense of urgency. It’s not an easy watch, but that's kind of what makes it stand out. It captures that raw, unsettling feeling of helplessness in the face of evil quite well.
