spoilers but

||it literally had its followers grow into rotting plant like creatures that worship him to keep being alive||

yes @ryvergate it is

it's a good movie

i friggety flippety flooping like the monster design

i loved the last scene

like

my god

j

and "it is a bastard son of loki" damn!

*fangirling much*

i wonder why swedish forests are the setting for so many stories of ancent pagan rituals and shit

because they were never cleansed

unlike all of Europe's other forests

i guess they're the most uninhabited areas in europe

no inquisition

no anything

that's kind'a kewl

quite literally, if there are ancient creatures, they are there

i imagine creatures like the Creature in Ritual that actually hold out the rivers of civilization by enslaving people like that

if the concepts of the Warp from 40k are true, then there is nothing stopping them from existing

what movie's this?

The Ritual

go watch it

It's a horror-thriller with a few comedy aspects at the beginning

When they use expressions like "bastard son of loki" i start thinking about all the hypothetical stories that were never written down

like folktales?

passed from mouth to mouth

yes, or for example stories of this creature

like, loki isn't the god of anything, he's mostly used to tie up loose ends

which might be where his name comes

and if there's one thing i miss in norse mythology, it's messed up, mixed and mutated monsters

there's basically just big wolf, big snake, eight legged horse. Nothing about "a bear with horns like a musk and fin like a shark

or anything else weird

well, that's not entirely through

wasn't Yggdrasil told to be the home to countless creatures

yes, but not many of the described are strange

espc with the 9 worlds and all
