So, 'Damned Rites' is an interesting little piece from 2019. It revolves around a trio of paranormal investigators—Ellie, Harvey, and Hollis—who head into what they think will be a routine case. It's got that low-budget feel, which honestly adds to the creepy atmosphere. The pacing feels a bit uneven, especially in the second act, but there's a certain charm in how they stumble into genuine terror. There's a rawness to the performances that pulls you in, and the practical effects, while maybe not groundbreaking, manage to create some unsettling visuals. The theme of confronting your fears, wrapped in a haunted narrative, is relatable, and the mounting dread hits just right. Overall, it’s a blend of familiar tropes with a dash of unpredictability that keeps it engaging.
