The Ritual (2017)

A group of college friends reunite for a trip to the forest, but encounter a menacing presence in the woods that's stalking them.

Above-average horror tale makes good use of the Scandinavian landscape with a good cast of characters, but, buy and large, it's all quite derivative and nothing new to the genre.

The BFG (2016)

An orphan little girl befriends a benevolent giant who takes her to Giant Country, where they attempt to stop the man-eating giants that are invading the human world.

As to be expected from this director, all's well done in the production department, but this children's film lacks charm and fun for most of the time.
