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 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 travels to Italy to learn more about exorcism from Father Lucas because his teacher in America thought he needed to gain some real experience with exorcism since he doubted it a lot. In just a few minutes after arriving at Lucas' house,Michael gets introduced to his first live exorcism with a girl who is pregnant and experiences frequent 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.
I thought the film was quite entertaining and intriguing, but there were some slow moments during the movie where I found myself dosing off a bit. However, when things picked up,they picked up in a huge way. It featured a lot of strong, intense moments. The exorcism scenes were really disturbing and compelling. I gave the film a B grade.
