The Ritual

A group of college friends decides to reunite after several years to enjoy a weekend getaway in a cabin in the woods. They seek to revive the camaraderie of the past and escape their daily routines by leaving the city and immersing themselves in nature. What begins as a relaxing escape quickly turns into a nightmare when they discover they are not alone. As they explore the forest, they begin to sense a strange presence watching them from the shadows.

At first, the strange occurrences are minor: inexplicable noises, objects that seem to move on their own, and an unsettling feeling of being followed. However, the friends soon realize that there is something more sinister lurking deep in the woods. The atmosphere becomes increasingly oppressive, and as tension builds, their friendships are tested. The young people must fight not only against fear and paranoia but also against their own secrets and past tensions, which resurface under the pressure of the situation.

As night falls and darkness closes in on them, the friends realize the danger is real and much closer than they had imagined. The presence that haunts them is not a mere forest myth, but something tangible and deadly, intent on causing them harm. The feeling of being trapped intensifies, and they soon find themselves fighting for their lives as they try to uncover what or who is pursuing them and how to escape alive.
