Grab your hiking boots and your traumatized friends, we’re heading into David Bruckner’s dreary folk horror film, The Ritual. This movie packs a swift punch with stark performances and a cult classic (👀) creature design. Jaime works through the effectiveness of this film while Eric somehow still thinks hiking is a good idea after a third rewatch. 

Content warnings: animal death, body horror, PTSD, cult stuff, disembowelment, scary creature content, hand trauma, Our conversation also spoils the ending of the original Wickerman movie.
