À propos de ce contenu audio
In this episode of The Film Jury Podcast, we put The Ritual (2017) on trial.
Directed by David Bruckner and adapted from Adam Nevill's novel, The Ritual follows four friends who venture into the forests of Sweden to honor a fallen companion. What begins as a grief-driven hiking trip quickly becomes a descent into isolation, psychological terror, and ancient horror rooted in Norse mythology.
Jurors James, Kat, and Meagan examine the film's slow-burn approach, unsettling atmosphere, creature design, and thematic focus on guilt, trauma, and survival. We debate the effectiveness of the mythology, the shift in tone during the final act, and where The Ritual fits within the modern folk horror landscape.
After deliberation, all three jurors return NOT GUILTY verdicts, finding The Ritual to be a haunting and effective entry in contemporary horror that earns its reputation through mood, tension, and mythic dread.
If you enjoy thoughtful horror breakdowns, courtroom-style verdicts, and deep dives into what makes a genre film work or fail, this episode is for you.
