The Ritual is a new exorcism horror film from XYZ Films directed by David Midell. Variety is reporting that Dan Stevens and Al Pacino will co-star in the movie, playing a pair of priests who have to set aside their personal demons to help rid a young woman of hers.
Midell and Enrico Natale penned the script. The plan is to get production rolling this year so that they can release this in theaters in 2025. This is based on a true story, a portrayal of the exorcisms performed on Emma Schmidt, the most documented case of exorcism on record in the US. Al Pacino attends 'Manglehorn' premiere during the 71st Venice Film Festival at Sala Grande on August 29, 2014 in Venice, Italy.
This continues a trend of 2024 so far that really started in 2023 in horror, and that is the return of the exorcism film. The Pope's Exorcist, The Exorcist: Believer, Immaculate, The First Omen. Now this and The Exorcism with Russell Crowe…demonic possession is back, people. But should it be? These films all feel the same if you have seen them all, and I am not sure the concept works for a 2024 audience. I saw most of these in theaters, and there were more laughs than screams.
