David Bruckner's solo debut "The Ritual" is a suprisingly solid lost-in-the-forest horror thriller. The Sweden-based cinematography is sweeping and haunting, the actors do a competent job, and the special-effects are a solid combination of special and practical effects. I was particularly impressed with the monster design, an imaginitive breath of fresh air from your standard "ghost lady/little girl primed for a jumpscare".
Give it a shot if you're looking for an enjoyable and refreshing horror flick!
