The Ritual	comment	The Ritual is a 2017 British horror film starring Rafe Spall and directed by David Bruckner. It is based on the 2011 novel of the same name by Adam Nevill, and is best described as the love child of The Blair Witch Project and The Wicker Man (1973).Former college friends Luke, Phil, Hutch, and Dom go backpacking in the Swedish wilderness to honor Robert, who was killed in a liquor store robbery. However, after Dom sprains his leg, the four decide to take a shortcut through the woods, and when they discover an elk hanging gutted from a tree, they begin to believe there may be more than bears in this forest…
