The Ritual is a British supernatural horror film directed by David Bruckner and based on the novel by Adam Nevill. The story follows four college friends—Luke (Rafe Spall), Phil (Arsher Ali), Hutch (Robert James-Collier), and Dom (Sam Troughton)—who reunite for a hiking trip in Sweden to honor their late friend Rob. After Dom injures his ankle, they take a shortcut through a dense forest, where they encounter unsettling symbols, a gutted elk, and an abandoned cabin with a disturbing effigy. As they delve deeper, they're stalked by an ancient Norse entity known as Moder, leading to a harrowing fight for survival. The film explores themes of grief, guilt, and the supernatural, set against the backdrop of Scandinavian folklore.
