The Rite may have jump scares and a creepy atmosphere, but the story is predictable and less than complex: a young priest joins an exorcism school and discovers his own dark past. As shallow and uninspired as any entry in the exorcism genre, the reliance on jump scares drops the already underdeveloped characters in favor of an unimaginative tried-and-true plot.
