THE RITUAL KILLER is a US crime thriller in which a world-weary detective teams up with an anthropology professor to hunt for a serial killer who preys on young victims.
violence
People are shot or stabbed, or have their throats slashed, resulting in spurts of blood and strong bloody aftermath detail. A man’s neck is snapped.
threat and horror
There are occasional scenes of strong threat, including one in which little boy is seen sobbing in terror after being kidnapped by a serial killer. The boy is subsequently murdered, but neither the death nor the body are shown on screen.
language
There is use of strong language (‘f**k’, ‘motherf**ker’). Milder terms include ‘shit’, ‘ass’, ‘asshole’ and ‘son of a bitch’.
injury detail
There are strong bloody images of corpses, including a woman lying in a large pool of blood. A man eats a pair of human eyeballs, which are shown in brief gory close up. At a crime scene we briefly see a dead teenage girl whose eyes have been removed, leaving gory wounds; we are subsequently told that the victim’s hand and genitals were also removed, although this is not depicted on screen.
additional issues
During a scene in which police rescue a frightened teenage girl from a man’s apartment, it is discreetly implied that the man has been sexually abusing her. Another person takes their own life off-screen.
