The Rite. 2011.
Colin O'Donoghue plays young seminary Michael Kovak who has a disbelief in himself is sent to Italy under the guidance of Ciaran Hinds who teaches exorcisms and sends Kovak to Anthony Hopkins who deals with exorcisms and his faith is tested.
I have only seen this a few times and still find it enjoying, yeah it does make a reference or two with The Exorcist with Hopkins refereeing to the spinning of the head, hot pea soup or "god is not here today priest" which was mentioned in The Exorcist Beginning. The plot of the film is done decently, testing the faith of a new comer who does doubt himself and doesn't believe in possession even being told a person is possessed and ends up doing a exorcism. The acting is on top notch especially from Hopkins who has adapted to the role that you wouldn't expect anyone else to do. There is a dark atmospheric tone once the film changes to the Italian setting which helps the film to be more engrossing and thrilling.
