The Rite
Question everything you believe when The Rite arrives onto Triple Play Blu-ray and DVD on 20th June 2011.
Inspired by true events, the film is based on Matt Baglio’s novel, The Rite: The Making Of A Modern Exorcist, and explores our cultural fascination with exorcists and the darkness they witness.
Starring Oscar® winner Anthony Hopkins (Silence of the Lambs), The Rite follows a seminary student (Colin O’Donoghue) who is sent to study exorcism at the Vatican in Rome.
Initially filled with skepticism, he encourages his superiors to explore the idea of mental illness rather than demons when treating patients.
However, he is quickly introduced to a darker side of his faith after meeting an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Hopkins), who is known for pushing the darkest edges of his spirituality in the service of God.
Directed by Mikael Håfström (1408), The Rite also stars Colin O’Donoghue in his feature film debut, Alice Braga (Predators), Toby Jones (Frost/Nixon), Ciarán Hinds (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2), and Rutger Hauer (Batman Begins, Blade Runner).
