'The Rite' Movie Review
New Line Cinema released a new horror/thriller movie titled "The Rite" into theaters. I just got done checking it out,and it was very good. It featured a lot of intense exorcism scenes with acting legend Anthony Hopkins. The film stars: Anthony Hopkins, Colin O'Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds,and Rutger Hauer.
The film revolved around Michael and Father Lucas. Michael is a new Priest who has issues with his own faith. He doubts the Devil exists as well as these so-called Demonic possessions. The film often showed flashbacks to Michael's childhood where he first started to develop his faith issues when his father died.
Michael ends up traveling to Italy to learn about exorcism from Father Lucas because his American teacher thought he needed to get some "hands on" experience with exorcism since he showed so much doubt. As soon as he arrives at Lucas' house,he gets introduced to his first live exorcism with a girl who is pregnant,and goes in and out of possessions.
With very convincing evidence of possession,Michael still shows much doubt in the faith. The victim spat out nails,blood,her voice changed,she became an extreme contortionist,and all other kinds of weird stuff,but Michael still swore she just needed to see a psychiatrist because she's troubled.
Later on,Michael starts dealing with crazy issues brought about by strange dreams he's been having that involve his dead father. Father Lucas tries to help him with his issues. However, Michael's faith gets awakened when the demon possesses someone he never thought it would,and if Michael doesn't get some real faith fast,his life and the lives of others are in great danger.
Michael and his girlfriend are standing in the room while the possession is going on,and things get very rough. Michael gets put in a very dangerous position,and has to deal with his faith issues and problems with God to overcome what is getting ready to destroy him. The conclusion was very intense and kept me on the edge of my seat.
In my opinion, the movie was very entertaining and interesting. However, there were some slow scenes during the film,and I found myself dosing off a bit. However, when things picked up,they really picked up in a very major way. It featured a lot of "can't miss," intense scenes. The exorcism scenes were very disturbing and convincing. I gave the movie a B grade.
