Review of Ritual

Ritual (2012)
2/10
Wants to be a lot more clever than it turns out to be
27 July 2015
This is a movie I really wanted to be good. The setting and premise is nice, and it's shot pretty well (That's where the 2 stars come from).

Sadly, the rest does not hold up at all. It is plain as day to see that everything is based on an artificial twist ending that is meant to be as shocking as possible. Everything constructed to support it, and even the motivations for it, don't make any sense, except to ensure it's existence.

It could have easily been tweaking slightly to ensure coherency, but that would have made the twist impossible, and that was clearly more important. I can not recommend this to anyone sadly.
