The Ritual 2017

Absolutely worth a watch if you like a good, suspenseful horror movie, that doesn't rely too much on being gory but rather concentrates on a psychological plot and shows believable characters with believable actions and emotions. The setting is very eerie and spooky - I am pretty sure nothing will ever make me go hiking in Swedish Woodland (or Romanian for that matter) after watching the movie. :D

It was revealed through exposition in dialogue that the creature is a Jötunn, a giant bastard son of Loki. For the most part of the movie I was pretty sure it is a Wendigo that is chasing people in the woods, as a few things fit right into that myth. Still not sure if the movie really had nothing to do with Wendigos or if they somehow combined the myths. I'd like to believe I'm right, though. :D .
