The Rite

The Rite is a 2011 movie directed by and starring . In this film the son of a funeral director joins a seminary, only to give it up later because of a strong lack of faith. However, his mentor, who still believes in him, urges him to go to Italy to take an exorcism course, hoping that it would strengthen his faith in Christianity. There he meets an exorcist, Father Lucas, who will open his eyes to the existence of the Devil and restore his faith. Nothing new sub sole. And I was a little disappointed by the movie as a consequence. In spite of a lot of body convulsions and screams, the movie fails at scaring the audience, and without any new, imaginative take on exorcism, it simply fails.
