Product Description

Inspired by true events, this supernatural thriller follows a seminary student (Colin O’Donoghue) sent to study exorcism at the Vatican in spite of his own doubts about the controversial practice and even his own faith. Only when sent to apprentice with legendary Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who has performed thousand of exorcisms, does his armor of skepticism begin to fall. Drawn into a troubling case that seems to transcend even Father Lucas’s skill, the young seminarian glimpses a phenomenon science can’t explain or control – and an evil so violent and terrifying that it forces him to question everything he believes.

3 out of 5 stars
Somewhat Underwhelming
The Rite hovers between being a thought-provoking religious mystery and a decent horror film about demonic possession. Unfortunately, it falls flat on both. In a nutshell, a candidate for the priesthood (Colin O'Donoghue) who has faith issues (as well as a few other personal ones) is sent to exorcism school at the Vatican before he decides to give up the priesthood altogether. His mentor in the intricacies of demonic possession is Father Lucas (admirably played by Anthony Hopkins). The movie adds nothing new to the debate about demonic possession vs mental instability and we, of course, get the requisite demonic possession antics: twisting in weird positions, speaking in a smoker's voice, the VERY tacky (and rather tired) practice by demons of pouncing on one's weak spots and spitting them back with unbridled ferocity, still the usual church attitude regarding exorcism as a necessary evil/dirty little secret despite the fact that the call for exorcisms has risen recently blah, blah, blah, concluding with the horrible Hollywood tactic of sewing up everything nice and neatly at the end with everyone living happily ever after. This is probably the movie's biggest fault (and the most insulting.) Perhaps if the audience had been allowed to decide for themselves just what choice the troubled priest-in-training made instead of deciding it for us, this alone would have dramatically improved the film. The performances, however, are actually quite good, especially that of Anthony Hopkins and Colin O'Donoghue and it is because of this, the film is not a total wash out. Colin is most effective as the brooding (and festive) priest with doubts contrasted by the usually very strong performance by Hopkins in his element as a seasoned but troubled priest himself. Certainly works as a dinner and a movie outing but not much more than that, I'm afraid.

    Flawed with Clichés and "been there done that", Yet Very Entertaining.
    As a fan of horror and Exorcist like films, I blind bought The Rite with hopes that it will creep me out and bring back that wild side of Anthony Hopkins, which has been dormant for years and years. Well, for the most part my hopes were met.

    The movie is very well directed and put together in such a way that it just flows and it is quite entertaining to the viewer. Anthony Hopkins is actually kind of a funny character. Though the movie is quite serious, there were many parts, more in the beginning, which had my friends and I chuckling. Anthony Hopkins plays a great character, which is very devout, however doesn't seem to care anymore. He has a quite different approach to the whole exorcism thing than others do and this is why a Michael, a young student who is teetering on dropping out of seminary, is sent to visit Father Lucas. Michael doubts Father Lucas's motives and abilities. Michael is searching for a more scientific or medical evidence approach and less leaning towards religion.

    The movie is very entertaining and fun to watch. A few parts will make you jump and squirm in your seat, but in the end it is nothing out of the ordinary for an exorcist like film and uses too many clichés. The acting is great and everyone works quite well together. Anthony Hopkins eventually starts to play a very creepy role and will freak you out.

    Picture quality is perfect. There are some light scenes and many dark scenes and all look great. The audio is amazing. There are many little creaks and moans from the surrounds and the sounds and dialogue is crystal clear.

    The extras were decent with the deleted scenes, however the Alternate Ending was the best part. The Alternate Ending should have been left in the film, as well as some of the deleted scenes, which greatly would have helped with character development and over-all interest in the film.

    Over-all I should have Netflix'd The Rite and waited until it dropped to the $10 bin, however I blind bought it and I am sticking with it. It was very entertaining and I will watch it again. The over simplified clichés started to get annoying and almost took the scariness away from the whole exorcist thing. It almost makes it seem like it is not as big a deal as it really is. I hated that aspect of the film. If you rent or buy this make sure you watch the Alternate Ending and the deleted scenes. I wish they were in the film however they made me appreciate the film a little more. Based on the deleted scenes it seems as though someone (director, producers, writer) wanted this film to go a little deeper and in a different direction than the movie actually turn out. However all in all it is a good film and a good purchase. It is re-watchable so I am glad I own it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST WATCH INFORMATIVE and REAL
    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I loved this movie based on the experieces of a real life modern day excorcist and very informative and excellent lecturer from California. I watched this movie bc as a nurse an empath and having questioned my faith and having been on the threshold of both life and death as a hospice nurse and growing up Roman Catholic, and being a product of Catholic education through the early 80s to my highschool education in 1995, I was rebelling against the conservatism of my upbringing... I have recently realized the truth in my life and that I was very misguided bby new age movement although only dabbling.. Through prayer and suffering through oppression and in my depression I came across a Roman Catholic site b Sensus Fidelium and I listened to the lectures especially of two modern day priests and excorcists one of whom tis movie is based upon.. I have much work to do but this website has opened my eyes to much and helped me immensely to understand many circumstances in my life, how I invited them and what I must do through prayer to overcome The most important is believing in the existence of the Devil, demons and Evil in modern day society. This unbelief is a trap to get souls.. I am no religious zelot, but through many spiritual coincidences and through my prayers to Our Lady and Holy Trinity I believe I found the website and this movie takes the teachings of the Roman Catholic American priests full circle in a very real way MUst watch and not Hollywood hocus pocus highly recommend it to all esp Catholics suffering through spiritual oression and storms .....5 stars

    I am not into scary and gory movies, but our kids are!! for the most-- Look at what they will pay big bucks at the theaters anymore-- so I say- if they are old enough to go to the theater and see it-- they should see this- It's based on a true story and since it's obvious that evil abounds today-- we better start paying better attention as to how ruthless Satan can be and is! This is only one of many incidents that have been,made into movies about true events-- The Hollywood movie "The Exorcist" was made based on true events that really happened only it was a young boy not girl as they portrayed it--The movie documentary is called IN THE GRIP OF EVIL--Our church showed this to junior high kids around Halloween time, and two boys came up to their teacher after class very nervous and said--We need to go to confession as soon as possible-- we've been messing around with a wheegy board! It frightened them into the reality of what they were playing with which was dangerous fire! It really pulls ones head out of the closet into the light of whats happening to us today--Evil is everywhere (but so is goodness) but to not warn our kids and educate ourselves about the spiritual cancer that's eating us alive today, is pure negligence on our part as adults and teachers of faith- If there is not an evil out there-- then "why" do we "need" a Savior? Why do we go through the motions of religion? Save us from "what"-- We are! truly in a spiritual warfare today and if you don't realize that, then you are right where Satan wants you--Luke warm-- and you know what Scripture says about that---

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 2, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I have to say, this movie personifies the process of possession. It is very en vogue at the moment, why I don't know, but having been academically interested in the topic for many years, this movie pushes all the buttons. And to think that even with 5 stars (I would give it more if I could), it is not a patch on the book written by Matt Bagglio. The actual story of Father Gary Thomas, as written by Bagglio, has obviously received some Hollywood treatment, so for the true effect of this movie, I would certainly recommend reading the book along with watching the movie. It takes it to a whole new level. If nothing else, it will give the viewer a good thrill - for those of us more interested in the topic, it becomes somewhat of a handbook....
