The Last Rite

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.

It's ok kind of movie and can be watched once, but u need to ignore the main male lead. The female lead was convincing and the film have some scary moments.

Well this movie has a ok atmosphere. It is in no way a scary movie and the effects well, there are no special effects.

The male antagonist is just about the worst actor I have ever seen. And I have seen a few. He is incredibly unbelievable. The female is mediocre.

The movie would have been so much better if the husband/boyfriend/whatever was exercised early on. He brought the entire cast down the toilet with him. Very difficult to watch to the end.

"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.
