IMDb 6.0 Metacritic 38 RT 22%

The Rite has an intriguing premise—exorcism training at the Vatican with Anthony Hopkins chewing scenery—but the critics are right to pan it. At 22% on RT, this supernatural thriller squanders its potential with limp scares and a muddled story that even Hopkins can't save. Skip it unless you're a devoted exorcism-movie completist.

Plot

Seminary student Michael Kovak reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While he’s in Rome, Michael meets an unorthodox priest who introduces him to the darker side of his faith, uncovering the devil’s reach even to one of the holiest places on Earth.
