Review of The Rite (1969) by Ian W — 25 Jun 2011
This was surprisingly not bad. The obvious comparisons are the exorcist and the exorcism of emily rose. The first half of the film is pretty good, anthony hopkins is quite likeable and actually speaking in a welsh accent for once! As it approaches the midway point it starts to get very OTT, and old tony hams it up to the max.
I'm disappointed that so much CGI was used later on, as it stops the film being creepy and unsettling, and kinda ruins it.
