It's been a while since I have been excited about a good old possession movie. The Rite Anthony Hopkins a great actor and beautiful shots make it look like a real interesting movie. May not live up to the great movie "the Exorcist" but you never know...

Anthony Hopkins is, or was indeed a great actor. He was Hannibal in the Silence od the Lambs, and the sequel to it, horrifyingly based on factual cases , and in particualr one psycopath. I haven't seen 'The Rite.' But I did see the Exorcist a couple of years ago, and for it's time, I thought the special effects were incredibly good.

A frightening film of possession. Not sure that I believe in that particular phenomenon, or 'Demons' for that matter, but, as usual, I like to keep an open mind.

I don't believe in a true possession but I can see how some people can be over whelmed by something. I have seen some clairvoyants lock on to an emotion to the point where they are overwhelmed by it. Then they have to be pulled out of it or "ground" them selves from the emotion. Afterward you can see the effect on them.

Looks pretty good, I'll watch it when it comes out on DVD.

I saw the trailer. lol, since I saw the whole trailer, probably means I'm not gonna go see it in the theater :p

C'mon guys... The Exorcist... once you've seen it, you just can't possibly want to marr that memory of what has to be one of the most perfect and scary horror films ever made.

Ever

Evah!

I love this movie... Dam that girl knew how to play a creepy little girl...
The story line was pretty modern for that time too, showing the use of early CT scans.
Everyone was flawed in the movie... Making them more believable characters. I hate to say it gogo you might be right.
