Rites

About This Movie

So, 'Rites' is this intriguing mix of horror and romance that dives deep into the psyche of a man battling severe OCD. It sets a pretty unsettling tone right from the start, blending his internal struggles with some dark, supernatural elements. The pacing feels deliberate, almost slow at times, which works in its favor, building tension as he attempts to invoke these dark forces. The practical effects are surprisingly effective, giving those haunting visuals a raw edge that CGI just can’t replicate. Performances are quite compelling; you can feel the weight of his tragedy. It’s a unique take on grief and obsession, and the atmosphere—heavy and claustrophobic—really lingers with you long after the credits roll.
