The Ritual

To kick off our first installment of Summerween (a whole month of horror to manifest the superior vibes of autumn), Cam and Maggie dive into a spoiler-free discussion of David Bruckner’s 2017 horror masterpiece, The Ritual. Four friends go into the woods and then…bad things happen. This folklore-filled movie is surprisingly grounded and delightfully eerie. The naturalistic dialogue and fantastically terrifying creature design (not to mention an A+ forest that rivals The VVitch), make for a wonderfully spooky good time. Get a group of friends together and pull this baby up on Netflix. You won’t regret it. Feedback & Theories: [email protected] Instagram & TikTok: @secondbreakfastpod
