Is it meant to be a comedy?
Here's the thing about exorcism-related horror movies: exorcisms are incredibly uninteresting in a cinematic production. Sure, it's exciting to consider a battle royale between an agent of Satan and an agent of God, but exorcisms merely boil down to a priest screaming religious words with wild a... read more

MOVIE DIARY - APRIL 2022
“Against all odds, a film that avoids overbidding and mediocrity by hitting the right spot despite a subject that is too hackneyed these days.” read more

Terror Blurbs! Pt. 1 (An Ever-Expanding List) (100 movies items)"Stellar casting for this overlooked take on the subject of exorcism. Though it doesn't touch the greatness of giants like The Exorcist and The Exorcist III it, like them, tackles the subject matter with earnestness and solemnity rather than going for cheap thrills. Familiar themes of faith, doubt, and the nuances of the craft of the exorcist abound but are given a unique allure given the basis of the material on actual experiences. "

BradWesley123's Movie Journal- September 2018 (33 movies items)" DVD- 1hr. 54min. First Viewing Anytime Anthony Hopkins is onscreen, The Rite becomes a, somewhat, entertaining and effective possession-horror film. Unfortunately, he doesn't get anywhere near enough screentime and the film's lead, Colin O'Donoghue, gives one of the most uncharismatic and lifeless performances that I've seen in years. The film itself is, mostly, bland and forgettable, with nothing of genuine note. "

I guess as a disclaimer, I am not really a religious person. Usually that goes to my advantage watching faith-based horror flicks, it feels very much like watching another world and not my own. But The Rite really got under my skin, and not in a fun spooky way. I get we are supposed to have a suspension of disbelief, "just a movie" blah blah etc etc. But it was very troubling t"

“I wasn't really sure what to expect from this movie but since I always had a weak spot for Anthony Hopkins, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, the first disappointing thing was that, even though the damned thing was obviously sold as a Anthony Hopkins vehicle, the guy had actually had only a supporting part and he got finally involved with the proceedings only after about 40 minutes. Then, I have to admit that the whole thing had some potential and I liked the fact that they tried to tackle more or less seriously the subject of exorcism. Unfortunately, they only tried but never succeeded, I'm afraid. Basically, even though they gave some space to discuss the fact that someone supposedly possessed might actually have some psychological issues which was interesting, it was unfor” read more
Scarier Than Fiction (55 movies items)"Like stories on exorcism and the devil? Based on the life of one of the most famous exorcists of America, Father Gary Thomas, this movie will scare the hell out of you. One piece of advice: Don't try this alone."
