The Rite (2011)

If it's a nonsensical patchwork quilt, it's mostly a watchable one.

That's right - this is an exorcism movie that those who actually saw "The Exorcist" in theaters can get into.

Horror fans may be disappointed by this handsome exorcism drama, which aspires to the serious religious feeling of William Friedkin's "The Exorcist" but delivers little of its shock or gore.

Hopkins is having a blast, and he's fun to watch.

For an hour The Rite, as scripted by Michael Petroni, delivers the expected, but with panache.

As Hopkins himself goes wild-eyed and FX-ed with popping veins, The Rite gives up on asking us to take it seriously.

For all the hellfire histrionics and well-timed jump scares, there is actual, admirable intellect behind The Rite.

It's refreshing to find a horror movie interested in more than slashing and gashing.

Hafstrom creates a nice, creepy vibe, especially for the first part of the movie, which has a menacing atmosphere. Too bad he doesn't sustain it.

I admire The Rite because while it delivers what I suppose should be called horror, it is atmospheric, its cinematography is eerie and evocative, and the actors enrich it.

这种题材已经很难拍出新意了吧，本片剧情依然乏善可陈，没什么新意，叙事也有待加强，整体上给人乱的感觉。往好了点说就是本片拍出了些文艺片味道，但其实就是有些冗长...

四星是因为真的还挺喜欢驱魔题材的。

特效略少。Baal本是迦南的主神，太阳神，雷雨和丰饶之神，基督教任意丑化外教的结局。

魔鬼闲的蛋疼 神棍拯救世界 在老霍普金斯脸上化特效妆这件事怎么都感觉不靠谱

x 持怀疑态度的准驱魔师 诡异的事与自己有关时又不得不试图去相信。

我现在对这些鬼啊怪啊的很不敏感

对于泛神论的中国人来说，很神奇啊，仅此而已

3.5分。在惊悚和宗教题材的神秘主义之下说的是一个人从无到有的信仰，换句话说是一部西方宗教主旋律，达芬奇密码的对立面。惊悚成分在这部影片里倒是为了主角的性格而服务，是一个值得赞许的亮点。

风行网的字幕党们真是好人啊~！会在惊悚前几十秒做字幕预告提示~！！这对于晚上自虐独自看这种片的妹子来说简直是感激万分啊~！魔鬼通常是针对人心灵最脆弱的地方进行攻击与占领让你畏惧依从于它，有坚定的内心信仰以及刚正不阿心中有爱才能直面一切

前半部很好，一度有点像影子写手，后半部又是好莱坞烂俗片的模式。

概括一句话就是不相信不代表魔鬼不伤害你，信上帝的话菜鸟也能驱魔哟买一赠一

节奏还是有点慢，构思不错

如果驱魔道行的深浅就靠嘴皮子是否利落，那么大话西游的唐僧就是世界第一人啊

文艺片！我感觉是魔鬼想要把牧师掰弯。。。。。

开个玩笑其实魔鬼想把他掰弯，最后他还做了上帝的直男! 恶魔最善运用内心阴暗面和恐惧里使你动摇。怀疑论信仰和赎罪类信仰，三种都撞击在一起也不比最早版本的驱魔差到哪里去，毕竟滴血未沾可以吐钉，在没有心理防备之下就被附身了，所以说信与不信就在一念之间~正如你并不孤独一样。前半段好

蛮好一个开头,结果莫名其妙什么内涵都没挖出来就结束了一刚..

不是很明白国外的驱魔，节奏好慢好慢，昏睡过去4次。。Hopkins最后发力了一下~作为牧师也忒帅了点吧哈哈

大法师是初中时候的一枚心结都说是经典看完之后却觉的是一部没拍好的鬼片，但是无奈当时国外的兄长都说好看，只能随声附和，觉得之所以没觉得好看肯定是自己有太多不懂，如今过去快10年再加上作为老霍的影迷，看完之后只能感叹老霍的演技，尤其是其几近疯癫光脚出门的状态；另一感叹则为妈的我看懂了

Good to see Rutger Hauer looking better than ever in old age. O'Donoghue's performance pales in comparison to Marta Gastini and Hopkins.

我十分建议你们去影院看，看10点最后一场的那个，影院里没几个人...再带一个女孩儿...PG 13...这特么不是R级是PG13...anyway one sentence really interesting... " He is a Deceiver. "
