Ritual (2012)

 The twist in the last twenty minutes is clever, I'll give the film that. And there is definitely some disturbing kills and assaults, including a teenage girl impaled on spikes, a pregnant mother aborted and killed herself by a machete, a teenage boy stabbed in the neck with a machete, a father smashed in the face with a bat, a mother stabbed in the neck with a hunting knife, two teenage boys attacked while trying to protect their parents. I agree with other critiques that the decision to stress the cast by speaking in English really wasn't necessary and mostly detrimental, especially the younger cast. But the disorienting Dewanto trying to figure out what is going on and why his "family" was under attack while journeying through the woods "avoiding a madman" while two teenagers are "looking for their father" just wasn't really all that gripping for me besides the shocking violence. 2.5/5
