The Ritual

Rafe Spall (Life of Pi) and Robert James-Collier (TV's Downton Abbey) are among a group of friends who find themselves being stalked in the woods in this British horror.

College friends Luke (Spall), Hutch (James-Collier), Phil (Arsher Ali) and Dom (Sam Troughton) decide to take a hiking trip in the Swedish wilderness to reminisce about old times. But the inexperienced hikers soon find themselves hopelessly lost and as night closes in, tempers start to fray and they take shelter in an abandoned shack. Inside they discover the macabre artefacts of some unknown ritual and, during the night, each of the group suffers vivid, terrifying nightmares. As their friendships begin to crack and old resentments surface they become increasingly desperate to escape the woods. But they are not alone. Someone, or something, malevolent is watching them, intent on making them face their deepest fears and ensuring they never leave.
