After the chilling events of the first film, The Ritual 2 plunges deeper into Norse mythology and supernatural dread, picking up the story years later as Luke, the lone survivor, struggles with PTSD and haunting visions of the ancient creature that slaughtered his friends in the Swedish wilderness.
But something has crossed over.
When mysterious symbols begin to appear in his London apartment and people around him begin to die under strange circumstances, Luke realizes the JΓΆtunn cult didnβt just vanish β it followed him. As he seeks help from scholars of ancient Scandinavian lore, he uncovers a prophecy: the ritual was never meant to endβ¦ it was only the beginning.
To stop the ancient god from fully manifesting in the modern world, Luke must return to the forsaken forest, face the trauma he buried, and battle a horror that is no longer bound by geography β or reality.
