Abigail Cowen Turns Up the Terror in 'The Ritual' Trailer 2 and It’s Even Creepier

Abigail Cowen stars in ‘The Ritual’, a creepy exorcism tale based on true events—coming to theaters June 6, 2025.
A new trailer for Abigail Cowen’s upcoming horror film The Ritual has been released, offering a scarier look at her portrayal of the possessed Emma Schmidt—based on one of the most well-documented exorcisms in American history.
Set in 1928 and based on Schmidt’s story, the film stars Al Pacino as Father Theophilus Riesinger and
Dan Stevens as Father Joseph Steiger, the two priests who performed the exorcism. Joining Cowen, Pacino, and Stevens are
Ashley Greene as Sister Rose,
Patricia Heaton as Mother Superior, and
Ritchie Montgomery as Chester.
Filming began in January 2024, with Ben Foster originally attached to the project. He exited the production three months later and was replaced by Dan Stevens.
The Ritual hits theaters on June 6, 2025.
