I copied this review, it appealed eggzackaly what I ... The most horrific thing is that the story could be good. I got about 2 minutes in to the movie before my eyes and brain could take no more.

It's another of those headache inducing low frame rate animations. I mean it feels like 4 frames per second at best.

Anyone involved in producing animation with such low frame rates should be sentenced to 5 years of prison time with Justin Bieber - Baby played on a non stop loop pumped into their cell. On release from prison they should also be banned from being involved in the production of all media.

If you know anyone involved in producing low frame rate animation please report them to the local authorities.

Nothing thing seems certain about the exorcism-themed movie "The Ritual"; not intended as the first installment in a franchise. "It really was a one-off," and in no way any kind of 'rip-off', as the story itself is original.

The low ratings are no indication of the quality of the story's presentation definitely worthy of 10/10 The film dramatizes perhaps the best-known case of alleged possession in U. S. history. By 1928, psychiatric remedies for the long-term mental anguish endured by Emma Schmidt - who may or may not have been a Wisconsin native, and who was later referred to by the pseudonym Anna Ecklund - had been exhausted, and an exorcism was authorized as a last resort.

It's the first time Pacino, 85, has portrayed a Catholic cleric. He always arrived on the set with margin notes in his script, and, in keeping with the Method, asked Father Williams what the mentality of a priest should be when he walks into a room.

Way more realistic, without too much 'romance' on horror.

Borrelli's dramatization of events surrounding the Passion, may be able to tell that he has a strong visual background. Borrelli gives us some warm and vivid imagery.

The tone of his film is, moreover, appropriately reverent. Yet some of the action feels forced and the mood occasionally becomes overwrought.

That problem doesn't affect Jamie Ward's performance as Jesus. Temple cleansing aside, his is a serene Saviour. As for the Apostle Peter, from whose viewpoint the story is told, his post-denial remorse flirts with excess but makes its dramatic point.

It's mainly the twitchy Judas who comes across as emotionally overblown. And that isn't all the actor's fault.

Borrelli achieves some moments of genuine intensity as when Jesus washes the bewildered Peter's feet. These come mostly when he and his script collaborator, adhere closely to Scripture.

Their effort to flesh out the biblical account, by contrast, frequently goes awry. This is most glaring in the case of Judas' motivation for treachery, when he's shown to be tempted by the devil.

For those with a more mature outlook on the meaning of the holiday, this recreation of the original events is, for the most part, theologically sound. Thus the action begins with the multiplication of the loaves and fishes as well as Jesus' prophecy about the gift of the Eucharist as recounted in St. John's Gospel.

Cinematic sturdiness, however, is a different question.
