How Fear Changes People | The Ritual (2017)

Nobody truly knows who they are until they’re forced into a situation they could previously only imagine. Beneath its haunting atmosphere and Nordic folklore, The Ritual explores a group of friends coping with grief, guilt, and emotional isolation while hiking through the forests of Sweden and unknowingly entering the domain of a supernatural entity. Through themes of trauma, masculinity, fear, and psychological paralysis, The Ritual becomes far more than a traditional creature feature — examining how fear can reshape identity, relationships, and the way people understand themselves. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the better adaptations done by Netflix, The Ritual is a bit underrated; I have a soft-spot for it for sure.
