The Last Rite

"The Last Rite" at first seemed like it was going for a "Poltergeist" or "Babadook" vibe, but then turned into an "Exorcist" ripoff. A lousy one at that. I watched the movie just because it was Halloween and I figured that I had to watch an available horror flick, but I found one of the crummiest ones. The poor acting and direction make this scary only in the sense that someone was willing to release it.

In conclusion, stick with "The Exorcist", "Poltergeist" or "The Babadook" (or for sheer horror, "Psycho" or "The Shining"). Or, if you're in for something silly, "Re-Animator" is a real pleasure.

The acting and script are only ok.... for an adult film.

To be fair, with a script like this, I can't imagine any actor being able to pull this off. Their responses to each other are not natural.. ppl don't say these things to each other...

The husband is happy one line, furios the next , to happy again and I can't for the life of me figure out what caused these emotions.

If you want a scary movie , don't watch this. If you want a good laugh, I recommend it. Just when you think the acting and script can't get any worse... BAM.

Nothing remarkable but not the worst possession film I've seen. None of the characters are remotely likeable, relatable, or interesting. While I understand one could reason that the boyfriend was behaving the way he was because of the demons presence I am countering that argument with this- he's just a knob.

Whoever cast the main guy made a terrible mistake, every scene made me cringe. Just ruined the movie completely.

Shame because it had such promise, but it also feels like it starts in the middle of the film.

If ever you find yourself starring in a movie of any kind: Prepare.

The boyfriend being the worst actor, ever, we continued watching, half heartedly. The idea behind the man in the black hat, the shadow man, the dark man, is a common enough premise, however sleep paralysis and demonic possession are two different things. None of which was executed believably. I usually can watch just about anything supernatural but this was bad. The only good came from the priest. I am still looking at twenty more minutes before the end and cannot wait.

Let me be as shallow as the grave: The scariest part of this movie was the lead actress' skin.

Forgo this one if you crave frights.
