Growing up, I used to hunt a lot with my dad and grandpa. The first three quarters are decently faithful to the movie, but for me personally the book (as they always do) created a much more claustrophobic environment where the forest plays as much as an antagonist as whatever it is that’s tracking them. A number of discoveries occur and when shelter is found, visions begin to plague the friends.įor me, every single chapter had me riveted and on the edge of my seat. But, as we come to expect in horror books, things go very wrong. The decision is supposed to be a short cut and get them to help faster. The group will cut through a protected area that is virgin forest. Then, unexpectedly, an injury occurs and a decision is made. Now, through time and life events, the friendships are strained and they are holding on to the last grasps of what used to be. This is set in the woods of Sweden and the four friends used to be best friends. ‘ The Ritual‘ follows a group of four friends hiking through the woods.
I personally loved it, and I’ll say why later. When I began to read this, many people said “oh, just wait until the last quarter.” Well, yes, the last quarter was very different than the first three quarters. I’ll be starting ‘ The Reddening‘ tonight and can’t wait. If you’ve followed any of the books I love or the books I write – ‘The Ritual’ the book scared the crap out of me, and now having read ‘ Last Days‘ and ‘ The Ritual‘ Nevill has easily set himself apart as an author who is a must-read. ‘ The Ritual‘ movie scared the crap out of me. As well, in 2017, a period of time worked out that my wife and son went on a visit to my In-Law’s and I had time available to watch the movie. In 2011, Adam Nevill released his book ‘ The Ritual‘ which caught the eye of filmmakers and became a celebrated 2017 Netflix movie.Īt the time of it’s release to Netflix, I was just starting to dip my toes into the Horror Community more and more and had not read any of Nevill’s work.
