New Line Cinema recently released a new Anthony Hopkins,branded thriller/horror film "The Rite" into movie theaters. I just watched it,and thought it was pretty good. It delivered a ton of intense exorcism scenes with actor Anthony Hopkins. It stars: Anthony Hopkins, Colin O'Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds,and Rutger Hauer.
"The Rite" movie centered around characters Michael Kovak (O'Donoghue) and Father Lucas Trevant (Hopkins). Michael is a young American Priest who has issues with his own faith. He has a difficult time believing that the Devil exist as well as the so-called Demonic possessions. The movie,often times, showed flashbacks of Michael's childhood,which is where he first developed his faith issues when his father passed away.
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.
Even after Michael sees a ton of convincing evidence of possession,he still feels doubt for the faith. The possessed girl spits out nails,blood,her voice gets crazy deep,her body contorts,along with other kinds of weird stuff,but Michael still swears she just needs to see a psychiatrist for this issue.
Michael ends up dealing with major issues that are brought on by strange dreams he's been having about his dead father. Lucas tries to help him out with his issues. However, Michael gets his doubting faith put to the maximum test when the demon possesses someone he never thought it would,and if Michael doesn't get some faith quick,his life and other's lives are in great danger.
Michael and his female friend were in the room during the possession,and things get extremely bad. Finally,with his back up against the wall,Michael is forced to face the issues with his faith,and issues with God so he can overcome what is getting ready to kill him. The conclusion was quite intense and really had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen next.
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.
