“Bring Her Back” shows an emerging pattern that’s definitively establishing Danny and Michael Philippou as unique cinematic storytellers.

Stop yourself before you’re tempted to watch “The Ritual,” an interminably stiff and entirely derivative bore.

The 2022 film offers a fuller, more fear-filled and eerily lingering experience than this made-for-the-masses 2024 incarnation ever does.

Little snickers are few and far between, so there’s never an overwhelming sense that the movie is aware of how cliched everything is.
