XYZ Films has unveiled the official trailer for its upcoming horror-thriller The Ritual, a chilling account of one of the most terrifying exorcism cases in American history. Helmed by David Midell and written by Enrico Natale and David Midell, the film is set to deliver spine-tingling suspense, supernatural horror, and emotional depth.
The Ritual stars legendary actor Al Pacino alongside Dan Stevens, Ashley Greene, Abigail Cowen, and Patricia Heaton. The story follows two priests, Theophilus Riesinger (Pacino), a man struggling with his faith, and Joseph Steiger (Stevens), who is haunted by a dark past. Despite their personal struggles and deep differences, they are called upon by the Church to perform a high-stakes exorcism on Emma Schmidt (Cowen), a young woman allegedly possessed by a malevolent force.
The exorcism, which has been described as one of the most dangerous and controversial cases in Church history, puts the priests' lives—and their faith—at risk. The narrative, rooted in the true story of the possession of Emma Schmidt, promises an intense mix of supernatural horror and human drama, with both priests grappling with their own fears and doubts while facing a force they may not be prepared to defeat.
The film’s premise taps into the terrifying legacy of demonic possession, with a story based on actual events that still haunt the Church. The psychological and physical battles between good and evil are set to unfold in an unnerving tale of redemption, belief, and survival.
The Ritual is slated for a June 6, 2025 release, and with its star-studded cast and thrilling premise, it is sure to be a must-see for fans of supernatural horrors and true-crime thrillers alike. Prepare for a gripping journey into darkness where faith is tested, and the stakes could not be higher.
