Review of The Rite (1969)

By Matt B (1,998) on 31 May 2015

Review of The Rite (1969)

By Soraia C (6) on 12 Jul 2018

I really liked it.While there were some parts that weren't as good, the movie is still great and I don't understand why people don't like it…

By Edward C (495) on 31 Oct 2013

While it's shot pretty well, and boasts some good performances, The Rite ends up a being a quite bland film, lacking in thrills and scares…
