"The Rite" is a supernatural thriller that uncovers the Devil's reach to even one of the holiest places on Earth. Inspired by true events, the film follows seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O'Donoghue), who is sent to study exorcism at the Vatican in spite of his own doubts about the controversial practice and even his own faith. Wearing his deep skepticism like armor, Michael challenges his superiors to look to psychiatry, rather than demons, in treating the possessed. Only when he's sent to apprentice with the unorthodox Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins)--a legendary priest who has performed thousands of exorcisms--does Michael's armor begin to fall. As he is drawn into a troubling case that seems to transcend even Father Lucas's skill, he begins to glimpse a phenomenon science can't explain or control...and an evil so violent and terrifying that it forces him to question everything he believes.

This movie had about 2 creepy scenes in it; possibly 3 at the most, however, this movie also made a profound statement to me. That not all horror movies have to consist of a ton of horror scenes to be effective in its objective, which of course would be to actually be a horror film (great job to the director and cast).

This movie had all the right elements, but somehow missed the mark anyways. I've seen it a couple of times, and it just doesn't hold my attention.

But the Michael character was quite flimsy. They attempted to flesh him out, but his character remained shall, and the whole running away to seminary thing didn't make much sense considering Michael's lack of faith. It was OK, good for a rainy autumn Sunday afternoon.
