The Rite

Synopsis:
An American seminary student who attends exorcism school at the Vatican finds faith through encounters with demonic forces. source


My thoughts:
Hmmm not exactly a movie that you jump up afterwards and say, "wow, great movie!" It was intense, that's for sure and it managed to avoid falling into the absurd, despite its demonic possession plot. Anthony Hopkins once again gives a captivating performance, but hey, he's Anthony Hopkins!! The rest of the cast is superb as well. I really liked Colin O'Donoghue who plays Michael Kovak. He was very believable as he struggled with his lack of Faith.
It's not a movie for the feint of heart, but it is a movie that will have you wondering about the fine line between psychosis and possession. You might even ask yourself, "What do I believe?"
