A seguito di un traumatico incidente, alcuni amici decidono di partire insieme per visitare i paesaggi selvaggi della Scandinavia allo scopo di sfuggire brevemente alle loro vite quotidiane e riavvicinarsi l'uno all'altro. Tuttavia, una scorciatoia per loro si trasforma ben presto in incubo. Si ritrovano così persi, affamati e circondati da chilometri di foreste: le cose non potrebbero per loro andare peggio quando si imbattono in un casolare abbandonato, rifugio di qualcosa che si nasconde tra i boschi e che li sta inseguendo.

    Nice psychological journey for both the viewer and the characters. Love the nordic lore in this.

    Chilling creature design in this impressive backwoods supernatural thriller. When a man is killed in a convenience store robbery, his buddies go on a backpacking trip to sort of commemorate his passing. Things don’t necessarily go as planned and they find themselves lost in the woods with a presence haunting them, and possibly hunting them. One of the friends is wracked with guilt over failing to act during the deadly robbery. Tackles familiar horror themes of grief and guilt manifesting itself as a supernatural horror of some kind. There are some interesting nightmare sequences that blend/transition the backwoods setting with the convenience store. I don’t necessarily think the metaphor 100% works thematically, but it’s a pretty damn fun film. Really love the creature and liked this on the whole a bit more than The Night House. Nitpick: When you’re camping and your bro unexpectedly walks in on you, buck naked and praying to a weird wooden figure, that’s not something you casually bring up with all your buddies the next morning. That is some sh🤩 you just take to your grave.

    The Ritual (2017) takes a hilariously simple setup—four lifelong friends hike through a Swedish forest to honor a fallen buddy—and turns it into a masterclass in “men processing grief badly while nature judges them.” The acting is genuinely great (Rafe Spall especially sells the simmering guilt), and the first half is deliciously psychological: dread, paranoia, and hallucinations that feel like your brain’s HR department filing formal complaints. It’s also shot beautifully—those misty trees look like a Scandinavian cologne ad sponsored by trauma—and the Nordic folk-horror vibe rules. If you go in expecting a straightforward “monster in the woods” creature feature, you might be thrown the first time; on a rewatch, you can appreciate how smartly it delays the big reveal and leans into guilt as the real predator (even critics who call the script thin still admit it’s incredibly moody and well-directed). And yeah, some folks gripe about the ending, but I found it oddly thought-provoking: it’s not just about surviving—it's about lugging cowardice, regret, and self-doubt out of the forest without getting trampled by whatever nightmare IKEA forgot to label.

    Introspective, but NEVER boring. Tons of great practical effects, this one will keep you guessing while plunging you into the skin of each character and their motivations. Watch it, then watch it again!

    Hell Yes This, along with The VVitch, are some of the best horror films to come out since the heyday of horror in the 70s. This is a must watch!

    I'm pretty sure the monster's diet consists mainly of poor navigational skills

    All a bit meh. No lore or backstory to create anything truly disturbing. Nothing overly graphic or impressive to the eye to make you jump. Well acted, and you do feel for them as they go deeper and deeper, but it’s so formulaic, it’s hard to stay gripped. The beginning is the darkest, most shocking element, and the rest feels more like a meandering through metaphors of grief and regret. Short enough to breeze through easily enough, but, well… yeah… meh.

    It was extremely slow and then just got plain weird.
