The Rite (2011) is a supernatural horror film directed by Mikael Håfström, inspired by true accounts of exorcisms and loosely based on Matt Baglio’s book. The story follows seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue) who travels to Rome to study exorcism under veteran priest Father Lucas Trevant (Anthony Hopkins). As Michael confronts demonic phenomena and tests his faith, the film explores doubt, belief, and the clash between modern skepticism and ancient ritual. Tone mixes psychological dread with religious horror; performances by Hopkins and O’Donoghue anchor a narrative focused on moral struggle and spiritual crisis.
