The Ritual

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2025 · Horror, Drama, Thriller · David Midell

41% overall reflects a film that's struggling, but the round data adds nuance: The Ritual competes better in the middle rounds than the overall number suggests. A horror entry building atmosphere in a genre field that's increasingly crowded with prestige competition. Standing out requires more than mood — it requires a hook voters remember when the ballot loads. 0.5s average decision time. Reflexive, automatic, no hesitation — voters know where they stand before the matchup fully loads.

Synopsis

Two priests, one in crisis with his faith and the other confronting a turbulent past, must overcome their differences to perform a risky exorcism.

The ceiling

55% in the semis, then 0% in the final. The drop isn't gradual — it's a cliff. The Ritual looks like a contender right up until the bracket asks it to beat the best.

The Ritual dominates The Twisters at 71%. The Old Guard 2 at 0% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
