It seems like in the last few years that some studios have gotten in the habit of releasing some horror movies in January, sort of a dropping point for post Halloween films I guess. This new one from Warner Bros. Pictures/New Line called The Rite looks pretty good for this coming January 28th. It's a psychological thriller and it's got Anthony Hopkins and Rutger Hauer in it. Trailer and website below. Beware the dreaded "inspired by true events!!!!" Yeah, sure it is.
Synopsis: Inspired by true events, “The Rite” follows skeptical seminary student Michael Kovak (Colin O’Donoghue), who reluctantly attends exorcism school at the Vatican. While he’s in Rome, Michael meets an unorthodox priest, Father Lucas (Anthony Hopkins), who introduces him to the darker side of his faith, uncovering the devil’s reach even to one of the holiest places on Earth.
