The Ritual (2017)
The Ritual (2017) is a psychological horror film that follows a group of four friends—Luke, Dom, Hutch, and Phil—who embark on a hiking trip in the remote forests of Sweden to honor their recently deceased friend, Rob. After an accident leaves them injured and lost in the woods, they decide to take a shortcut through a dense forest to get back on track. However, they soon discover that this forest is not ordinary.
As they venture deeper, they encounter strange and unsettling occurrences, including eerie markings and a mysterious, ancient structure. They realize they are being stalked by a terrifying, supernatural force tied to Norse mythology—a monstrous entity known as a Jötunn. This creature, which demands worship and sacrifice, begins to pick off the group one by one. As the horrors escalate, Luke is forced to confront not only the terrifying creature but also his own past traumas.
The film builds tension through its atmospheric setting, psychological horror, and the group’s struggle for survival, culminating in a chilling and haunting final confrontation with the Jötunn. See less
