The Ritual2025
“You must have faith.”
Directed by David Midell
The premise
Two priests, one in crisis with his faith and the other confronting a turbulent past, must overcome their differences to perform a risky exorcism.
Horror Vault's take
When a desperate exorcism case demands immediate action, two priests with very different wounds are thrust together — one wrestling with his belief in God, the other haunted by a past he cannot outrun. What unfolds is as much a battle within themselves as it is a confrontation with the malevolent force before them. With a heavyweight cast led by Dan Stevens and Al Pacino, The Ritual (2025) grounds its supernatural terror in raw human vulnerability. Expect a brooding, character-driven descent into faith, fear, and the cost of facing true evil.
