The Rite is a 2011 supernatural horror film directed by Mikael Håfström and written by Michael Petroni.[4] It is loosely based on Matt Baglio's book The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist,[5] which itself is based on actual events as witnessed and recounted by American then-exorcist-in-training Father Gary Thomas and his experiences of being sent to Rome to be trained and work daily with veteran clergy of the practice.[6]
The film stars Anthony Hopkins, Colin O'Donoghue, Alice Braga, Ciarán Hinds, and Rutger Hauer.[7] Shot in Rome, Budapest,[8] and Blue Island, it was released on January 28, 2011, received generally negative reviews from critics, and grossed $96 million worldwide.
