The Ritual (2025)

This is like someone chose to write and direct an exorcism film from muscle memory. Abigail Cowen has hopefully gained a few clips for her demo reel, but the only one on set trying. Stellar actors, Al Pacino and Dan Stevens, looking around  for their paychecks on the way to the exit, Pacino’s accent, seemingly mocking audiences on their way out. It doesn’t even have the  distinction of being affrontable, it is just… Bad. It is bland tedium of every retreaded, regurgitated, remixed faith-discovering exorcist story you’ve ever seen, cubed. It doesn’t deserve an ‘F’ it doesn’t deserve consideration.
