The creature is one of fear, pain, cowardice. It only kills one at a time, it separates the group to weaken it and never faces them when they are together, it itself is afraid. In the end when he roars back it backs up, it knows that it can die and maybe its not as powerful as it makes others believe, it is fear, a representation of trauma, pain, and cowardice, when faced it knows it cannot stand against the strong, those willing to fight.

[@JaysEpitome]

Assuming the cultists didn’t do anything a wild animal could absolutely drag the bodies off.

I always thought 'the blonde woman' was the daughter from the family picture they found. She implies to Luke that creature picks its members based on pain or trauma. And if you look carefully at that family picture, the daughter looks ill at ease and is standing away from her family like something wasn't right.

I really love the crossover between Dom telling Luke off for not fighting back while his friend dies, and Dom just hiding in the tress, while Phil dies. Its like it shows him as both a hypocrite and also a normal person - freezing up and not able to fight back against something that is about to kill your friend. I thought that that's why Dom kinda gets on with Luke in the last part, as he can kinda understand why Luke did what he did, and why Luke couldn't have realistically done anything else.

[@riakun]

I always found it interesting that the monster appeared as Dom's wife before he died. Was it to put his mind at ease that way he would be a more willing sacrifice? Was it to lure him into a false sense of security and then shock him with the monsters true form in order to create that fear for it to be necessary to sacrifice him? These are the questions I still have for the movie. I still love the hell out of it. It's one of my favorite horror movies for sure

[@gaila.9852]

If the god had done that to ease Dom’s mind, it would not have switched back to its true form once Dom felt safe. It wanted him to suffer.

[@tavirosu25]

I think it's not the creatures that chooses what you see, it's your mind tha chooses it. That's why the villegers always bow down and never look at it directly. Looking at it makes your mind see anything but the creature and you go insane.

[@riakun]

@@tavirosu25 that makes sense, but does it have to appear as something to lure in a person to be sacrificed (like an angular fish with it's light to lure in prey) or does it need that fear to make the sacrifice? Why did it take a different form (even if it's in their mind)? It seems the guy saw the *actual* creature before it took him away and impaled him on a tree. I'm just curious *why* and if it's necessary?

[@tavirosu25]

@@riakun I assume you see the real creature just before you die, after you re-experience all the guilt/shame/pain. So maybe the main guy was spared to be the last because he had the biggest trauma, while the rest of his friends didn't had that much trauma so they could be killed before him.

factss there ain't no shortcuts in the fucking woods. I learned my mistakes, i once did this too with a friend of mine. We were going to our destination and the map told us to do a full round circle and avoid the woods. Guess what? we went straight to the woods thinking it was a shortcut and it would've made our journey easier. It was like 3pm we predicted that it would slice our journey up, originally if we took the right path and followed the map it would've been 5-6 hours of hiking. Our compass was pointing the right direction and that's what we thought, it's 7pm already quite starting to get really dark and we weren't even close to reaching the other side. It was freezing cold and we were tired. We gave up and decided to call it a day, we sat there and got our tents set up with the fire. It was dead quiet there and we literally were paranoid af when we started hearing wood branches falling of trees and noises there. I got no sleep there and was scared to the ground lmao, we both packed our stuff and left at 5am when we saw the sun, after an 2 hrs of hiking we finally got out of the woods. Literally one of the scariest experience i've ever done.

[@non-haereticicoalition8392]

I think Moder's reasoning behind choosing each victim was not so much the pain they endured but rather their response to it. For the whole film, Luke had to deal with the subtle truth that he had a role in his friend's death, and the creature saw this "weakness" as a desirable quality in a follower. In fact, that's what it saw in all its followers. Note how the woman who speaks to Luke, after he undoes his restraints, says "we worship it", dodging the question of whether or not she's afraid of it. That's all Moder wanted: submission, and would extend their lives as a "gift". But that's the real question of this movie: is it better to live kneeling or die standing?

[@clarkkent2005]

When they find the tent that picture is actually important. It's a picture of the girl (and her family) who covered his ears when he was tied to the wall in the house.

I was thinking something similar. I'm guessing that they had given up drinking or something to that effect (one even mentioned he can't do it). Pouring out the last of it was a statement of making sure that there was no more drink... or something? Maybe? I dunno. That's my thought.

I always thought it was bound to the forest so when Luke made it out of the boundaries he was free. Also I feel like the monster was forcing Luke to kneel because he lost all his other worshippers and was planning to start over.

[@wendigo3140]

This is also my interpretation

[@epiclegion1040]

I thought the same, but I have more to add on a deeper level. I think it was growing desperate in making him bow, trying to force him to become a slave to his suffering. It thrives on those who worship it, it's worshipers being those who suffer a great deal. His will to fight negated the Jotun's feeling of control, causing it to force his head to the ground. I feel that this story and the Jotun are a greater metaphor for overcoming suffering and perhaps depression and sadness.

That's a good interpretation. Very interesting scene. In my opinion, Moder (the monster) seemed to gain a bit of respect for Luke after seeing his will to fight and conquer his demons. If I'm not mistaken, wasn't Moder attempting the ritual to grant Luke immortality? Why would Moder do that after Luke murdered his cult? Seemed like a respect thing to me. I don't think Moder was actually trying to kill him in those last few minutes. Seemed more like he was desperately trying to recruit Luke into his cult.

Dom is also the one who voiced his Grudge against Luke for his inaction in helping Robert from the junkies in the store. From a certain perspective you could say that Dom is an allegory of Luke's guilt guiding him down the path that will lead to the inevtible confrontation with the Jotunn.

[@kitkat6442]

Plus the guy could of just given up his ring. No possession is worth your life. All sentimental value is lost if your dead. Oddly enough robbers weigh out the risk. They get caught robbing, burglary charge and assault with a deadly weapon-jail time with possibility of parole. Murder is a whole different story, you get detectives looking for you-increasing your chance of getting caught and if you get a homicide charge then you are looking at hard time on top of the other charges I mentioned which also reduces chance of parole. They would have to get hella lucky with a judge to get any sort of deal. Therefore if he would of did as they said, they more than likely would of not killed him just like the cashier.

[@lukewhatidid1735]

The monster is Hel, Loki's daughter, who was in charge of the souls of those who did not qualify for Valhalla because they didn't die in battle. That's why the cult is made of non-combatants, like the sickly and the elderly, women and children. Hel herself was described as a woman who looked half-normal and half-corpse, I think this film's take on that is pretty damn cool, the monster is literally made of corpses so you could say there are parts that look normal! Anyway, Luke had a chance to die fighting but chickened out, from then on he belonged to Hel. I guess he got a second chance at the end because he found his courage and fought back, unlike the cultists who allow themselves to be killed without much resistance.

[@Anothersatellite]

I disagree with the interpretation that the Jotunn loses interest in Luke because he has dealt with his pain - it was established earlier that his pain was what spared him to begin with. I think it is rather that in choking down his fear and confronting the beast, he depletes some of its power over him. The Jotunn is clearly shaken by his defiance. Luke's pain wouldn't suddenly disappear because he stuck an axe in a monster's face, and he had just lost three of his best friends so he would definitely have some fresh pain to deal with. I'm not convinced the Jotunn had the power to keep Luke in the forest any more. I think the film is about overcoming guilt and fighting to break its hold over you.

[@qthedisaster1730]

But wouldn't it still lose interest over him considering it had no power over him to keep him in the forest, because he could have still killed him since I don't think an ax would stop a Jotunn that much? You may correct me if I am wrong

[@D0NU75]

and losing everyone you love in the process

[@pahzplace7853]

That's the thing though, Luke was guilty and guilt isn't something that you buy at CVS. It's an energy that corrodes your mind and soul, as whatever it is that you've done takes up residency in that guilt and that guilt latches on to you for life. Now don't get it twisted as a lot of people do fucked up things and feel no guilt, which is common. But you have to remember that his friend looked at him to help him and he did nothing. Plus misery wanted company and his friend accompanied him not because he wanted something in there, but just to accompany him and he literally watched him die. There's just some things that will eat away at you either because the person whoever you've wronged puts that type of energy out there or because that's just how the chips fell. Luke just chose to fight this time, (even though it was for his survival) but nevertheless what he's done in the past ain't going no where. Plus you have to look at it this way. He did nothing and watched his friends die at the hands of those crack heads, then time fast forwarded and he watched 3 more of his friends die at the hands of a big deer and there was nothing he could do about it but save himself! So if you want to look at it from the other end of the spectrum, the deer knew that he would suffer either way, and not having nothing in addition to no more friends is equally or just as worst. So it didn't matter if he got away. Maybe I went to deep, but when you're dealing with intelligence that supersedes the average persons thinking, there will always be levels to an outcome. In Lukes mind he may have felt that he won and got away, but he's crazier times a million after that experience. As how do you tell a random head in the clouds person about that type of experience and who does he have to express himself to, now that he ran away from a town that ancient people lived in.

“[The creature is called] Moder in the novel. … It’s female. … I wanted to preserve my own experience of reading the book, wherein the creature’s design is somewhat shifting. Or at least you have competing ideas about what it might be. We dug into Norse mythology and discovered a Jötnar clan of giants that were known as shape-shifters and would sometimes present with combined human and animal qualities. It felt close enough to what Adam had imagined but gave us a little room to experiment. … I reached out to Keith Thompson, who I was a huge fan of, and was very fortunate to have him come on board. He experimented with those ideas and provided many different possibilities, as well as concepts for the decrepit parishioners, the effigy in the attic, and the hanging elk. It all tied together and told a visual story. The beast design we finally settled on was simply the one I couldn’t take my eyes off of. I think anyone who’s familiar with his work can tell through and through that this is one of his uncanny creations.” - David Bruckner

[@jademoon7938]

The Ritual is one of the few recent horror films I've found to be instant classics. The Void was also very Lovecraftian, and was very good as well, regardless if the end scene was dumb or not. True horror films are the ones that succeed at actually scaring you, and for a horror junkie like me, that is rarely ever achieved. The movie has to be visceral, you need to feel it, and jump scares simply don't do that at all. Which is such a terrible trend. Lazy writing. The Ritual was highly successful at introducing and building characters, real storytelling with no stupid narration or paragraphs of explanations, and it managed to trigger emotional responses. And the plot made sense! Every character did things that made sense for who they were, and they reacted to events genuinely, driving the plot that was logical and only irrational when a character made a reasonably irrational decision. We need more quality horror films like this.

[@lolzomgz1337]

Jade Laurel Johnson I'm a huge fan of Lovecraft, but I don't feel like The Void pulled it off very well, it's a decent movie, but far too many movies, The Void included, I think, think they can just go "Ooooohhhhhh, oogly boogly space bullshit." and call it Lovecraftian. (Also, seriously, this movie has little to nothing Lovecraftian about it...still a pretty good movie, though, but I don't know who was smoking what when they said that creature was based on Shub-Niggurath xD ) If you want a really good Lovecraft-esq movie (in my opinion, atleast), try "The Endless"! :)

[@jademoon7938]

@@lolzomgz1337 Hello, sorry to have taken so long. The thing you gotta remember about Lovecraft is that literally everything he wrote can be imagined in many ways, and other than a few features, the gods are.. Much like the design of The Void. Otherworldly. Amorphous. With tendrils. And body horror. It's super hard to even draw a Lovecraftian creation, so for a super low budget Canadian horror movie to have accomplished what they did was amazing. I'm a sucker for cults and body horror, that I'll admit, but I do genuinely think the story and film are of the Lovecraft lore, and I do think budget constraints force some imagination. I'd prefer a dozen movies like this to a CGI Cthulhu. Plus I feel like the quote, "in strange eons, even death may die" was at least a jumping off point for The Void, as a doctor accesses powers from another dimension to conquer death and revive his daughter to begin another era of human evolution beyond death. Seems pretty on point. I have no idea how the doctor could've ever known if that thing was actually his daughter or not though lol. The ending is what sucked for me. Where the hell did the doctor go? He was just replaced with the dead wife? Shouldn't he be standing with the guy at the end? That bugged me. Otherwise, I think the movie nailed Lovecraftian ideas on a very small budget.

That seems a mode of operation, those that the monster cannot haunt, are made to worship it, the others get killed. Like the old hag in the village who also had a mark of the monster, maybe it means she could not be controlled by her past and given the choice to worship.

Have you seen the Yellow Sign?

[@russianname2986]

Alan Shen I would leave the forest

[@cartermiller853]

And then the loggers arrived!!! Cutting down the mountain side.

[@TheAmubis]

I always wondered, what will happen if the trees are cut off

[@robertreyes6959]

We remember, in September. 👌

[@crazykenproductions606]

You sure it won't kill them all as they try to cut it down that would actually be cool to watch

[@robertjohn8711]

crazyken productions Drop an atomic Bomb on the forest then. This creature is no match for humanity, which is why he’s hiding

[@dietsquid]

I know I’m late, but I don’t think anyone else gets the Sabaton reference

[@Miketheratguy]

I binged a bunch of horror movies over the course of a weekend and this was one of the better ones. I enjoyed it. Tough movie to find a physical copy of.

[@netimarneto6473]

I feel like, even though it got stabbed in the face... It's oddly proud of Luke 😂

[@mrmacedon]

And shot once

[@Apex-mh6lf]

Unique storyline and monster, but I think the best part was the acting. I really felt like the main characters were just 4 guys way out of their element, and reacting accordingly. When they found Hutch hanging, I was surprised by how tangible their horror was. Not overreacting with bloody screams, but just thorough disbelief and confusion at the sight of one of your best friends being there with you the night before, then gutted and hung to bled like a pig. Good movie imo!

[@Narusasu98]

Agreed this scene was really well done. Very good acting

[@solongsuicide9]

*bleed

[@bemarts9830]

I always laugh at the argument with Dom and Luke cause technically if Dom didn't hurt his leg, they wouldn't have to go through the forest. Dom just needs stronger ankles.

[@temari105]

Bemkesh or watch where the fuck he was going!

[@TwistedTB]

It was his knee but I agree.

[@footstepsbehindme13]

Yes because walking through rocky, uneven, slippery, rock and tree filled forest will be much gentler than a well warn trail on Doms ankle. Genius.

[@-demonesque.8274]

Damn it Loki. You and your weird children.

[@ColdNorth0628]

Miss.Malfoy this is movie only child.

[@GundamGokuTV]

carlos conde Yes but Loki has several children in mythology

[@abhinavs8109]

Marvel looking is the best

[@nseven1117]

loki and his weird fetishes am I right?

[@-demonesque.8274]

carlos conde I know that but in actual mythology he has a child with a horse and stuff like that

[@groundchele]

wow its blair witch but shit actually happens

[@cicklepickle]

Seems ‘bout right.

[@SamaLayuca]

With higher budget and non foumd footage type of movie

[@AltoAtik]

Lol

[@couchpotatoe8077]

And instead of a invisible demon it a fudging moose demon :l so ya your correct

[@shrekfanboy5446]

groundchele Hey at least Blair witch didn't really on shitty, predictable jump "scares" to get a reaction out of you.

[@upwiggins]

When they said it was a bastard son of Loki I actually laughed out loud because Loki is known for having sex with horses and other types of animals but what God hasn't had sex with an animal here and there

[@themammoth9051]

Well, We have the Cretan bull.

[@fabri1021]

Ahh, yes. Loki, the Lord of Incest.

[@leafpratt]

Loki didn't have sex with a horse he was raped by one

[@teriyakisauce7320]

Leaf pfffftt WHAT!?😂

[@teriyakisauce7320]

who comes up with these stories?

[@jesellelogan4452]

Crazy to think that if Rob was alive to go with them he would’ve most likely died anyway🥺

"Ending explained." Tells us the entire movie.

[@aless7125]

Lmao for real tho

[@riaramirez4733]

But he DOES explain the ending and the monster.

[@hellplaysgames4494]

To understand an ending you need the beginning

@@hellplaysgames4494 exactly

[@ghostyglover]

You ungrateful fucks how you do plan on understanding the context of the end hahahah
