The Rite




Generic!

I wasn't really feeling this one here.  Its one of those exorcist horror movies.  Anthony Hopkins plays a priest, Father Lucas Trevant, with "unorthodox" methods in performing exorcisms who takes in a young man, Michael Kovak, as a favor for one of his fellow booty bandits.  Michael isn't a kid he is an adult with his own beliefs and is a skeptic/athiest.   He doesn't believe in exorcisms.  He write them off as bullshit.

Father Lucas takes him in and shows him the exorcist world.  He shows him a weird looking pregnant chick who is suppose to be possessed by a demon.  The demon makes this pregnant chick an even bigger weirdo.  She scratches chairs and walls, points at people, has patches of hair missing, and occasionally speaks in a deep man/demon voiceMichael gives a shit about any of these antics and so did I.

Michael doesn't believe in the devil or god he wants "proof".  Father Lucas keeps trying to sell him the idea and eventually wins him over after unfortunate events take place.  The unfortunate event being Father Lucas gets possessed by the "devil". Now Michael feels it is no bullshit and the possessions are real.  Yadadadaya blah blah blah.  And its over.

If you believe in the demon possessing people this might be scary if you are watching this at night or alone.

My Rating"
3/5   

I gotta say that Anthony Hopkins actually looks crazy.  I can see why he got that Lechter role dude he has a creepy guy swag about him that is str8 weirdo!
