Episode description

The Ritual is a 2017 British/ Canadian horror film starring Rafe Spall, Arsher Ali, Robert James-Collier, and Sam Troughton (grandson of two time General Witchfinder featured actor, Patrick - 2nd Doctor -Troughton, or as we like to call him Kinky Klove) 

 The film is based on the 2011 novel The Ritual by Adam Nevill, which we've been told by listener ‘Mr London’, is pretty creepy.

The original tagline that was used when advertising the film was 'They should have gone to Vegas'. But due to the massacre that took place on 1st of October 2017, the tagline has now been changed to 'They should have gone to Ibiza'.

Although set in Sweden (helpfully clarified as being in Northern Europe by IMDB) the film was shot on location in the infamous Carpathian Mountains of Romania.

The screen writer, Joe Barton, went on to write the Excellent ‘Encounter’ staring Riz Ahmed, which Ross highly recommends and director, David Bruckner, went on to direct The Night House and has recently completed the reboot of the General Witchfinder ‘favourite’ Hellraiser, coming to cinemas soon
