Review of The Rite (2011) by Grayson D — 21 Jul 2011
A good cast (with the exception of the exceptionally wooden O'Donoghe) is wasted in a film which never makes it's mind up if it's a horror movie or an exploration of faith. It ends up being neither, too badly written for the central characters "journey" to have any impact and although Hopkins tries manfully it just isn't scary either.
It does however look very nice and has atmospheric settings but every thing in this film was done to much better effect in The Exorcist.
