The Ritual (2018)

Five guys have a yearly vacation tradition and, this year is the first time they're a group of four rather than five. So their mood is already "off" due to their grief and their trip is to honor their friend's wishes rather than anything they would've chosen otherwise. When one hurts his leg, they decide to take a shortcut through the woods and -- as one of the group mentions -- if the shortcut was actually a shortcut, it wouldn't be called a shortcut, it'd be called the route. Those right there are what we call "wise words."

Nothing good is in the forest, which is fun for a while. But then it gets kind of old. But, for once, the actual monster, once we see it, is ah-MAZE-ing.
