- Entertainment:
The Ritual Killer, despite a promising premise and strong performances, particularly from Freeman and Hauser, often feels underdeveloped in its execution. The film’s depiction of the gritty and disturbing subject matter of ritual murder is intense but lacks depth in its exploration, leaving viewers wanting more from the storyline and character development.
