If the mythology surrounding Bird Box's creatures left you captivated, give this downright horrifying film a try. While at first, the plot seems like it's yet another rehash of horror and sci-fi films we've seen before — a group of friends go on a hiking trip, and things take a very wrong turn — somehow it still breaks new ground. Tonally and narratively, it reminds me of 2015's The Hallow, which finds a family fighting to survive against an onslaught of demonic creatures that live in the woods behind their remote home in Ireland. The use of folktales about ancient evil is part of what elevates The Ritual past its run-of-the-mill premise, but it's the bond between the core friends that gives the film its depth.
