'The Rite' Film Delivered Extreme Exorcism Scenes With Anthony Hopkins
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 12:34 AM"The Rite" horror/thriller movie recently released into theaters by New Line Cinema. I checked it out,and felt it was pretty good. It showed a lot of extreme exorcism scenes Anthony Hopkins. The flick stars: Anthony Hopkins, Colin O'Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciaran Hinds,and Rutger Hauer.
The movie revolved around Michael Kovak and Father Lucas Trevant. Michael is a beginning Priest who has issues with his faith. He has trouble believing that the Devil exist as well as so-called Demonic possessions. The movie shows a lot of flashbacks to Michael's childhood where he first developed his faith issues when his father died.
Michael ends up traveling to Italy to learn about exorcism from Father Lucas because his American teacher thought he needed to get some "hands on" experience with exorcism since he showed so much doubt. As soon as he arrives at Lucas' house,he gets introduced to his first live exorcism with a girl who is pregnant,and goes in and out of possessions.
Even after Michael sees a ton of convincing evidence of possession,he still feels doubt for the faith. The possessed girl spits out nails,blood,her voice gets crazy deep,her body contorts,along with other kinds of weird stuff,but Michael still swears she just needs to see a psychiatrist for this issue.
Later on,Michael starts dealing with crazy issues brought about by strange dreams he's been having that involve his dead father. Father Lucas tries to help him with his issues. However, Michael's faith gets awakened when the demon possesses someone he never thought it would,and if Michael doesn't get some real faith fast,his life and the lives of others are in great danger.
Michael and his lady friend are in the room during the possession,and things get pretty bad. Finally,Michael gets his back pushed up against the wall,and is forced to deal with his faith issues and issues with God,which helps him overcome what is getting ready to kill him. The ending was very intense and had me on the edge of my seat.
I thought the film was quite entertaining and intriguing, but there were some slow moments during the movie where I found myself dosing off a bit. However, when things picked up,they picked up in a huge way. It featured a lot of strong, intense moments. The exorcism scenes were really disturbing and compelling. I gave the film a B grade.
