No, 'The Ritual' Did Not Copy 'The Exorcist'

Jumping on the horror bandwagon, Al Pacino plays a high-ranking priest in the new film The Ritual, directed by David Midell. Battling a demonic possession in small-town America with his flaky protégé priest sidekick, he frees a woman from the clutches of Satan's legion. The Ritual tells the saga of a harrowing 23-day-long exorcism that eventually drew national media attention. Although the validity of this possession is up for debate, it marked one of the more influential supernatural chapters in American history, one that is rightfully deserving of attention from filmmakers.
