The Ritual

In 1928, in the quiet farming town of Earling, Iowa, a young woman named Emma Schmidt begins to suffer from terrifying and inexplicable phenomena. She's tormented by night terrors, violent outbursts, speaking in languages she doesn’t know, and an unnatural hatred toward anything sacred. Her family devout Catholics believe she’s possessed and seek help from the Church. Their desperate plea reaches Father Theophilus Riesinger, a seasoned German-American priest known for conducting rare, authorized exorcisms.
