The Rite

Possessed bodies, croaking frogs, and red-eyed mules... Oh my!

Michael Kovak leaves the family mortuary business for seminary school. Just as he begins to doubt his faith, he gets recruited for an Exorcism 101 course in Rome. It’s the classic battle of good vs. evil and believer vs. skeptic. Anthony Hopkins always guarantees a strong performance. This inspired by true events film is well crafted, but more human drama than supernatural fright. The more you believe, the more you’ll probably enjoy this movie.

Alien gives it 2 "spitting nails" stars out of 4.
