That Ritual Thing

About This Movie

So, 'That Ritual Thing' is this quirky 2023 comedy that really dives into the absurdity of internet culture. It follows four friends who think they’ve stumbled onto something magical with this online ritual—supernatural abilities sound cool, right? But there’s a dark twist; to keep these powers, they’ve got to fight each other to the death. The pacing feels a bit erratic, which suits the chaotic vibe they were going for, I think. The practical effects are surprisingly clever given its budget, and the performances walk that line between comedic and genuinely tense. It's not your run-of-the-mill comedy, and there's a distinct layer of social commentary woven throughout, making it stand out in a sea of similar themed films.
