The Ritual

The true exorcism of Emma Schmidt in 1928 is the most terrifying and documented in history, recognized by the Church and that inspired decades of horror.
After years of disturbing behavior, Emma (Abigail Cowen) suffered a long ordeal of rituals conducted by Father Theophilus Riesinger (Al Pacino) with the help of Father Joseph Steiger (Dan Stevens).
The two priests, one in crisis with their faith and the other haunted by a dark past, had to join forces to perform a series of exhausting and terrifying exorcisms to save the young woman’s soul. Witnesses reported cases of levitation, otherworldly voices and supernatural strength. Emma Schmidt’s Exorcism - The Ritual brings the original story back to life.
