The ending was weird as CRAP but it’s what made the movie 100x better in my opinion. The movie was solid all around but they killed it with the ending!
I was under the impression that it was The Black Goat Of The Woods With A Thousand Young, Shub-Niggurath from Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. I remember reading somewhere when I first saw this move years ago that they took the creature almost verbatim from Lovecraft's work
Europe is known for its deserted woods and lands full of craziness. Here in North West Europe where I live we have woods on mountains that are very scary. When I was young I used to play with my friends in the woods and we found lots of abandoned cabins.
Watched The Ritual 2017 today, went in with no high expectations and I was rly surprised by how good this movie was. The pace at how the tense was building up was paced rly well. No cheap jump scares, just the overall movie atmosphere made this so creepy and scary to watch. I highly recommend this movie to any horror fan!
The 4 actors did a fantastic job of portraying their characters. Should have won several awards. Hope there is a Ritual 2. I've got some great ideas about a plot!
This was the best horror I've seen in Years. I think the best and only way to watch a horror film is at night by yourself with all the lights off. Then you can truly say if a movie was scary or not
What most people don’t know is that this movie is actually not recorded in Sweden, it’s actually recorded in Rumania. I live in Sweden and in the north there isn’t that much trees. :)
Have you ever experienced a deja vu while watching a movie and after a while you remeber that you actually have watched it twice totally forgetting the first one
It's dry. Not that hard to get. Just because it isn't funny to some, doesn't mean people don't get it. My British friend told me that comedy in the states is better.
As a horror movie expert (lol i only watch horror movies) i can say that this one was literally perfect, yeah thats what we call horror movie. I wanna watch it again.
I've just finished this movie 5 minutes ago. It was good. There are some jokes in this trailer, but to be honest we have every joke from the movie here :) It's not a comedy. I laughed few times but that's because acting was very natural (but good!) and they acted just like group of guy friends would talk and react in situation like that. Which made movie more realistic. It will not be on "one of the best horror movies ever" but I was suprisingly good, better that I expected. I enjoyed it. Sometimes I even felt like I was there with them, atmosphere was creepy and the "final boss :P" was cool. I don't feel like I wasted 90 minutes. :)
I watched it, and it was actually good. I predicted some things but its WAY better than the average horror movie they try to swindle us into watching nowadays.
Love this film, I’ve read the book twice and that’s even scarier. Kept me up at night, I had to sleep with a light on for a couple of days after finishing it!
The fact that the film was shot in Romania and not Sweden bothers the hell out of me. I live near where this film takes place and neither the forests nor the scenery looks like northern Sweden.. Just look at the trees, we don’t have those trees up here. They are typical mid/eastern European trees.
@@bboy7656 is Denmark northern Sweden? I don’t think so. Does Denmark look the same as northern Sweden? I don’t think so. Denmark looks the same as Skåne which looks nothing like the north of Sweden.
I read the book earlier this year and loved it. I cannot wait till this movie comes out. For those who haven't read the book, you're in for quite a surprise!
Loved the book this was based on & to those of you thinking the movie's going to be a horror comedy it really isn't, the book was incredibly dark & disturbing. There were a few times especially in the final moments of the story that came close to giving me nightmares. It looks like it's staying pretty true to the book from what I remember & like the book seems to have a similar feel to the descent so it might turn out pretty creepy.
Anthropos Anthropos im currently rereading the book. i saw the thumbnail for this trailer like a week ago but didnt click it, not making the connection that it was THAT "The Ritual" lol
Anthropos Anthropos honestly, id almost be glad if they didnt focus on the last 1/3rd of the novel. i mean it wasnt horrible in my opinion, but i feel like it brought me out of the trance the author seemed to cast over me throughout the first half or so of the book.
It is a descent horror movie with great sound effects..Enjoyed watching it..After long time got to watch good creature movie...Most horror movies have just people who keeps screaming at top of their voices..But this movie is different and good..
Watched it! Really good movie, I only complain about the common issue in horror movies: too many unlikely ignored things. There's no way I, or anyone I know, would make THAT many stupid choices and ignore THAT many issues. But I suppose a lot of people are quite ignorant! Would recommend this movie, it has a more original feel than the average horror movie released nowadays. I enjoyed it thoroughly as it had a great balance of psychological play and gore!
It was a great movie. It keeps me on edge. It wasnt that slow burn. It was intense actually because they keep making us expecting something and yeah we did.
I watched this and just realised I read the book last year whilst on holiday. I remember thinking "I know what sort of film would be made of this, an hour and a half of cliché"
Amy Mackay OMG shut the fuck up you’re literally the only person in the entire fucking comment section saying it’s bad yet you reply to every single fucking comment saying it. Nobody actually cares you absolute fucking walnut
This movie is far from perfect, but holy shit does it make me realise how low the bar is for horror movies these days. This was the first movie in so long that actually scared me and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I saw it last night and it's great! It's definitely not a Blair witch wannabe, it's something different. There really wasn't anything I didn't enjoy about the movie, this was really well made. Also Andy Serkis was there!
This movie is adapted from Adam Nevill's novel "The Ritual", so for loose spoilers, read the book. I'm pleased that Adam Nevill's work is getting adapted to film, but I really hope they make his book "Last Days" into a movie...'cause that'd be REALLY worth watching! Spooky Stuff!!!
AFCManUk I couldn't agree more. Last Days would make a fantastic film - I've read it10 times! Love the eerie atmosphere of that book. Can't believe this film passed me by....read this book a good few times too. Love Adam Nevill's work!
Hope its as good as it looked & gave the feel of. intriguing trailer with a few chuckles & + for the Swedish forest setting. //from a horror loving swede ;)
@@lanabanana5301 if Americans don't understand British banter then why would mistake it for a comedy? They don't understand what they are saying remember so why would they laugh at that? If they mistake it for a horror then it makes sense because they don't understand what they are saying for it to be deemed a comedy, therefore, all they have to go off are the creepy moments. You can not deem something to be a comedy if you don't understand the content of what is being said. Thus, it would be a comedy mistaken for a horror, not the other way around.
This movie is based on the book "The Ritual" by Adam Nevill, and it is the scariest book I've ever read. Please, please let this movie be just as good as the book.
I was so excited at the start of this trailer.. then my excitement slowly but surely left me. :D :[ Sad. I would be happy if the whole movie just happened at the gas station..
@@aubrey3368 Well brutal honest review: It starts off kinda slow, about 30 minutes in it starts to pick up, kinda scary. Ending was terrible. Overall 6/10 not a terrible movie, but just a tad on the boring side. The creature was very cool though.
This was the first scary movie In a while that I actually thought was pretty good. The ending was a little weird but it was still good
The ending was weird as CRAP but it’s what made the movie 100x better in my opinion. The movie was solid all around but they killed it with the ending!

@Sapphire stone same
"Well clearly this is the house we are going to be murder in" 😂 he knows lol
WastefulTV hi
The final punch at granny's face was absolutely perfect..
I just watched the movie rn and LOL at that part 🤣
What I love about this movie is the monster's unique form, never seen a monster that wierd looking.
Search Wendigo. Some pictures are not the same but some look familiar
That's a wendigo, some kind of norse god I think
I was under the impression that it was The Black Goat Of The Woods With A Thousand Young, Shub-Niggurath from Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. I remember reading somewhere when I first saw this move years ago that they took the creature almost verbatim from Lovecraft's work
@@BrendanStuart you think love craft dreamed that shit up out of no where, It's all inspired by one form or another of occultism
@@metalupyourass9114 the wendigo is a Native American legend. It is an allegory for cannibalism and how awful it is.
I laughed when he said "oh this is clearly the house we going to get murder in."😂😂😂

Agree, considering the alternatives, It is actually a good movie
It's my favourite horror movie
Absolutely loved it! Seen a real horror movie with great tension buildup after quite sometime.
awesome, I'm going to go on a hike in Sweden next week
Don't let the deer drip on you on the way in
Yeah and dont worry about the way out. Im pretty sure you can't do anything whilst youre being mauled apart by a huge fuck off monster...

@@Mira-hc8hu But what if it's just a mystical realm they stumbled into?

Thought it was Ryan Reynolds on the thumbnail
Same
PhantomZenix it was Bob Sagget
i thought him and bradley cooper was in this woulda made the "they should have gone to vegas more funny lol"
Some people just don't understand British humor...
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand British humour.
Just so we're on the same level. You get that was a pasta, right?
mon3ybagz no, just Americans...but not all.

Amira A lmao comedy in the states is cringeworthy compared to british. it’s a level of sarcasm you may not have grasped
It never ends well when you decide to go through the woods
I've seen the film, very well acted and filmed, if a little cliche.
Pretty enjoyable.
As a horror movie expert (lol i only watch horror movies) i can say that this one was literally perfect, yeah thats what we call horror movie. I wanna watch it again.

Has been my favorite horror movie since I watched it back in late 2017
This was a good movie! Watch it last night on Netflix! Can't believe I've never heard of it!
I laughed 3 times while watching this. Am i crazy ?
Abheee J mate no I did the same thing
I think this is suppose to also be a comedy movie.
some ppl laugh to avoid admitting that they are scared!
it's ment to be funny skrub.
Abheee J of course you are! hey crazy!
this actually looks pretty good
I loved it.
Great film, go make up your own mind.
I watched it, and it was actually good. I predicted some things but its WAY better than the average horror movie they try to swindle us into watching nowadays.

The Hangover.
Improved, as in made better. Not improv'd ;)
Stop reading my mind!!!!!!
Looks great. Always been a Rafe Spall fan, glad he's actually the lead in this film.
I read the book earlier this year and loved it. I cannot wait till this movie comes out. For those who haven't read the book, you're in for quite a surprise!
Name the book
Is it drastically different?
I love it! I feel like they got the tone of this just right and the bit with the hand on the tree is great as well

I saw it today. It's not.
To be honest, this does not look that bad, but people say that about many horror movies, so I might be wrong.
The book was decent
Anthropos Anthropos im currently rereading the book. i saw the thumbnail for this trailer like a week ago but didnt click it, not making the connection that it was THAT "The Ritual" lol
Yeah it took me a minute. I was like this seems familiar but because they excluded the entire third part from the trailer it was hard to recognize

Just here for Rob James-Collier
I’m just mad I watched this. Y’all are overreacting in the comments like this was the best scary movie to ever exist. Just NO. How do I unsee it.
One of the best horror movies i have ever seen

I'm reading the novel now. Really enjoying it.
Just read the book last week, hoping that the movie stays true to the book! Guess I'll just have to wait and see.
i've been waiting years for the novel to be made into a film and now here it is. hope it retains the creepiness of the novel, can't wait to see it

My mum met the author of the book in a charity shop were we live, really nice humble guy actually, always wears black.
Love the creativity and humour in this version of trailer!

Very good movie indeed,a breath of fresh air totally different from the usual scares
the forest is brilliant. the story is brilliant. I watched the film without falling asleep.
I absolutely loved the book, I hope.this film doesn't ruin the story for me.
"Well this is clearly the house we're getting murdered in" - awww murder murder murder... change the fucking record!! Thank you Andy.
1:18 when your teacher wants your homework and you forget it
this looks cool but i'm lil bit confused, is this about the revenge from his BFF or they just walked in to the forbidden forest ?
Maybe both?
Just Hair feels like the first part is completely random..
Just Hair no best friend revenge
Five friends plan a hiking trip, but one is killed in a robbery that night. The remaining four go on the trip in part to memorialize their friend.
Varekai0723 and his friend is probably suffering from guilt which is why he keeps seeing his friend
This movie is better than the trailer makes it seem tbh.
This movie is adapted from Adam Nevill's novel "The Ritual", so for loose spoilers, read the book.

lol this looks great with the comedy and shit
I was going to make a Blair witch joke, but the comment section never disappoints and beat me to the punch. Either way still excited for the movie!
The film is so scary but the actors play is so funny XDD
great shot of the hand wrapped around the tree 1:35
Can't see any hand there, brother!! :(
So this is basically an all male version of The Descent?
More like Blair Witch imho
