In this eerie and hilarious milestone episode of Opening Kill, we venture deep into the Swedish wilderness with the 2017 folk horror gem The Ritual. We break down the film's chilling plot, iconic kills, and the existential dread that stalks our main characters through the forest. From Norse mythology to grief and guilt, we unpack the layered themes that make this creature feature more than just a monster movie.

Joining us is our friend of the show and honorary Silly Goose, Joshua, who brings his usual chaotic energy and sharp insights as we navigate ancient runes, elk-headed gods, and camping trips gone very wrong.

Grab your hiking boots and avoid the creepy effigies—this one gets weird.
