The Ritual (2009) is an unsettling blend of drama and horror, exploring the dark mentorship between a seasoned serial killer and his eager protégé. The atmosphere is thick with tension; it’s oppressive yet oddly compelling. The film doesn’t rush, allowing the viewer to sink into the disturbing dynamics between the characters. The pacing feels deliberate, drawing you in before unleashing moments of raw horror. Practical effects are used rather effectively, heightening the grotesque elements without relying on over-the-top CGI. Performances are chilling, capturing the gritty reality of their twisted bond. It’s distinctive in its exploration of manipulation and moral decay, leaving you with a lingering sense of unease long after the credits roll.
