XYZ Films Announces April 2025 Release for Al Pacino and Dan Stevens Exorcism Horror ‘The Ritual’

As a seasoned horror enthusiast with a penchant for the supernatural, I can hardly contain my excitement for XYZ Films’ upcoming release of “The Ritual” next Easter weekend! With Al Pacino and Dan Stevens leading the cast, this exorcism horror film promises to be an unforgettable experience that will undoubtedly send shivers down my spine.

On the horizon for Easter weekend in 2025, XYZ Films has planned the American cinema debut of “The Ritual”. This spine-chilling exorcism movie features acting talents like Al Pacino, famously known for his roles in the “Godfather” trilogy, and Dan Stevens, who impressed us in “Abigail”. The film is under the guidance of director David Midell.

In addition to Ashley Greene and Abigail Cowen, the movie’s ensemble includes other notable actors. Earlier this year, it was acquired by XYZ before Cannes, and since then, it has found distribution deals in multiple significant global territories.

The narrative of “The Ritual” is rooted in real-life occurrences, unfolding around two clergymen: one grappling with his religious beliefs (Stevens) and another tormented by his past (Pacino). Their task involves conducting exorcisms on a tormented young woman who has been possessed.

The movie delves into the biography of Emma Schmidt, an American lady, whose exorcism is among the best-recorded instances in the annals of United States history.

I had the pleasure of watching a movie that was masterfully crafted by the talented duo, Midell and Enrico Natale. This incredible production was brought to life by the visionary minds of Andrew Stevens, Mitchell Welch, and Natale.

As a huge fan, I must say that David Midell’s authentic portrayal leaves me feeling uneasy and questioning the reality of the events – it’s truly captivating. And with his recent addition to our management team at XYZ, I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us!
