In this episode of Cinema D'Amore, hosts Justin Morgan and Charles Phillips venture into the haunting wilderness of The Ritual (2017), currently streaming on Netflix. As part of their ongoing series on thematic connections, they draw eerie parallels to last week's feature, The Descent, examining both films' focus on grief, male camaraderie, and lurking supernatural threats. The conversation explores Rafe Spall's standout performance, the film's uniquely British tone, and its moody atmosphere, from striking cinematography to the bone-chilling creature design. The hosts also critique the film's pacing, narrative gaps, and its handling of fear and emotional trauma in the face of survival. Is The Ritual a spiritual companion to The Descent—or just another shadowy echo in the woods? Tune in for thoughtful analysis, sharp opinions, and a few unexpected laughs along the way.

September 22nd, 1991. Guilford, Connecticut. Early that evening, a mysterious man visited the home of Christine Brendel and delivered some shocking news – her brother Ernest and his family had been kidnapped, and were being held for ransom by the Mafia. It turned out the man at the door, 42-year-old Christopher Hightower, was a pathological liar and a killer. He claimed he needed $75,000 to release the family, but in reality, they had already met their fate. Most shocking of all was Hightower's methods. He killed Ernest – who was a friend of his – with a crossbow, strangled his wife Alice, and then drugged their eight-year-old daughter Emily, and dumped her in a shallow grave. But in court he continued his lies, claiming he saw the mob carry out the killings. What Makes a Killer is sponsored by BetterHelp & Sinisterhood.

November 13th, 1977. Los Angeles, California. Young students, Dolores and Sonja were on their way home from a day out shopping, when two police officers stopped them for questioning. However, it was just a clever disguise, and the supposed police officers were actually sadistic killers. The girls were held captive for five days, abused, and then eventually strangled. Their killers were two cousins, Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi. The partners in crime went on a killing spree, murdering 10 young women in just four months. Many were dumped on hillsides across LA – locations that would lead the killers to earn their infamous moniker.
