New Trailer For The Ritual Brings Terror to the Forest

The Ritual

A new trailer for the upcoming Netflix horror film The Ritual has been released and can be seen below, courtesy of EW. In the video, we see the horror and fear that falls upon a group of friends who are on a hike in memory of their dead friend. However, an ill-advised shortcut through a dense forest instead of along a known path sets off a series of phantasmagorical events that threaten the lives of everyone.

Rafe Spall, Robert James-Collier, and Sam Troughton star in The Ritual, which is produced by Andy Serkis’ The Imaginarium and directed by David Bruckner. It is based on Adam Nevill’s award-winning horror novel of the same name.

The Ritual comes to Netflix on February 9.

Synopsis:
Nevill’s novel centers on four friends from college who head off into the Scandinavian wild in an effort to get away from it all and reconnect with each other. But what begins as a trip of bonding and friendship turns into a nightmare when they take a shortcut and end up lost. Some of them are injured, and they seem stranded with nothing but forest in every direction. While trying to find their way back to civilization, they come across what seems to be an abandoned cottage. Inside they discover ancient artifacts on the wall and bones scattered on the floor in a sacrificial manner. They soon discover that something is stalking them and is intent on keeping them from leaving the woods.
