The 2017 film The Ritual, directed by David Bruckner, is a masterclass in atmospheric folk horror that explores the intersection of personal guilt and ancient mythology. Based on the novel by Adam Nevill, the movie follows four friends who embark on a hiking trip through the Swedish wilderness to honor a deceased companion, only to find themselves hunted by a malevolent, otherworldly entity.
