EDEN LAKE & THE RITUAL: Episode 159: Forest Horror

World of Horror with Mom & Mac

WoHos!

Mac and I are back to talk all things "Forest Horror" with two Englsih horror films: EDEN LAKE from 2008 and THE RITUAL from 2017.

The Internet describes EDEN LAKE as "A young couple on a romantic weekend break at a remote lakehouse, are terrorised by a group of vicious delinquents".

The Internet describes THE RITUAL as "Reuniting after the tragic death of their friend, four college pals set out to hike through the Scandinavian wilderness. A wrong turn leads them into the mysterious forests of Norse legend, where an ancient evil exists and stalks them at every turn".

We talk a lot about how much we preferred the novel of THE RITUAL much more than the film. Probably too much. I'm sorry.

We also talk: Being in the dead dad club, Eastern NC accents, Is Michael Fassbender a badman? and how weird guns are.

Next time on the main show Mac and I discuss "Obsession Over Art" films with THE PERFECTION & STOPMOTION.

Thanks for all your support. It means The World of Horror™ to us, truly.

Remember, WoHos: We love you and DON'T go into the basement!
