Critic Reviews:
This steely British import examines the cost of male-bonding rituals…it’s nice to see a horror movie really go for it in the home stretch.

The most disappointing kind of bad horror movie: the kind that’s too smart to be this dumb.

There’ll be blood, and fire, and guns, and an axe. But there won’t be satisfaction.

Efficient and highly effective in its style, relying on sound, creepy production design, and the men’s own fear and misjudgment to create the sense of pervasive doom.

The Ritual, too, on occasion achieves a tense and devilish power, leaving you in the dark with these guys trying to figure out what that thing can mean. In these moments, the forest seems wilder than it is.

Attempts to put a twist on the Blair Witch formula but demonstrates surprisingly little imagination.
