The Rite

The Rite (2011) is a supernatural thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Mikael Håfström and starring Anthony Hopkins and Colin O'Donoghue. Michael Kovak is a seminary student with doubts — he enrolls in a Vatican exorcism course not out of faith, but because it seems like the only way forward.

His assigned mentor, Father Lucas (Hopkins), has performed hundreds of exorcisms and doesn't entertain skepticism. When one of Lucas's cases turns deeply strange, Michael's clinical detachment starts to crack. Aliis Braga plays a journalist circling the same questions — where does ritual end and psychology begin? The film draws on Matt Baglio's nonfiction account of Vatican exorcism training, which grounds the horror in actual Church procedure. Stream The Rite (2011) in full on iFILM.
