"The Rite" horror/thriller movie recently released into theaters by New Line Cinema. I checked it out,and felt it was pretty good. It showed a lot of extreme exorcism scenes Anthony Hopkins. The flick 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 heads to Italy to study exorcism with Lucas because his teacher thought he might need to gain some deeper experience with exorcism since he doubted it so much. In just a few minutes after his arrival at Lucas' house,he gets his first introduction to a live exorcism with a girl who is pregnant,and goes in and out of possessions.
Even with all the convincing evidence of demonic possession,Michael still doubts the faith. The girl spits out nails,blood,her voice changes to a demon's voice,she becomes an extreme contortionist,and all other sorts of weird stuff,but Michael still swears that she just needs to see a psychiatrist.
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 lady friend are in the room during the possession,and things get pretty bad. Finally,Michael gets his back pushed up against the wall,and is forced to deal with his faith issues and issues with God,which helps him overcome what is getting ready to kill him. The ending was very intense and had 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.
