The Ritual House

About This Movie

The Ritual House is a solid entry in the horror genre that really plays with atmosphere. It’s got this creeping sense of dread that builds slowly but surely, which works well with its themes of desperation and the consequences of unearthing past sins. You can feel the weight of the house's history in every scene, and the practical effects used here are particularly impressive—there's something about seeing real, tangible horror that CGI just can't replicate. The performances by the leads are raw and believable, really enhancing the tension as they spiral deeper into the nightmare they’ve inadvertently created. It’s a distinctive take on the haunted house trope, blending personal and supernatural horrors in a way that feels fresh yet familiar.
