Hollywood legend Al Pacino is widely regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time, with iconic performances in The Godfather, Dog Day Afternoon, Scent of a Woman, and Scarface, to name a few. So, every time a new Al Pacino film arrives, expectations are naturally sky-high. But sadly, that’s not the case with his latest outing, The Ritual, in which he plays an exorcist alongside Dan Stevens – a film which doesn’t quite live up to the hype.
The Ritual Rotten Tomatoes Score & A Better Alternative
Directed by David Midell, The Ritual has been panned by many critics, getting a shockingly low 0% critics’ score on the reviews aggregator Rotten Tomatoes (at the time of writing). But if you’re in the mood for a gripping and genuinely terrifying exorcism film, we have a criminally underrated recommendation streaming on OTT. If you haven’t seen it yet, we suggest checking out a movie called The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005). Read on to learn more about the film and why every horror fan should watch it!
The Exorcism Of Emily Rose: Plot & Cast
Helmed by Scott Derrickson (Director – Doctor Strange, Black Phone), the film is a gripping blend of a courtroom drama and supernatural horror. Said to be loosely inspired by a real-life case, it follows the story of a priest, Father Moore (played by Tom Wilkinson), who is accused of negligent homicide after he performs an exorcism on a 19-year-old girl, Emily Rose (played by Jennifer Carpenter).
