Al Pacino and Dan Stevens perform an exorcism in The Ritual trailer

May 8, 2025 by Amie Cranswick

XYZ Films has shared a new poster and trailer for writer-director David Midell’s upcoming horror The Ritual ahead of its release next month.

Based on the events which inspired William Blatty’s classic 1971 novel The Exorcist, the film follows two priests struggling with their own issues as they are tasked with performing an exorcism on a possessed young woman. 

The film stars Al Pacino, Dan Stevens, Ashley Greene, Abigail Cowen, and Patricia Heaton.  Check out the trailer below…

When the Church sanctions the exorcism of Emma Schmidt, two priests—divided by doubt—must confront a force beyond comprehension… and their own faith. Based on real events.

The Ritual arrives in cinemas on June 6th.
