The Rite

Description

The posters and trailer challenge you, "Could you look into the eyes of the devil?" The main characters in The Rite movie must answer the question…and the one that comes next: When you do look into the devil's eyes, what do you plan to do? Pre-release buzz cautions would-be viewers the answers are more than a little scary. Based on Matt Baglio's torn-from-real-life novel The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist, the movie tracks a skeptical young seminarian as he travels from his little parish in San Jose, California, to the Vatican, where he studies and practices the rites of exorcism. Colin O'Donoghue plays Michael Kovack, neophyte; and who better to play Father Lucas, the apprentice's master, than Anthony Hopkins, the king of creepy? Father Lucas initiates Kovack into the darker side of his Catholic faith, showing him how the devil's power seduces and corrupts even in the planet's holiest places.

Is the phrase "dybbuk box" sounds familiar to you? You may be heard this unbelievable true story about the box being sold on eBay in 2001 to Mannis, a furniture restorer, who was warned about evil ghost, trapped inside the box, by ex-owner's granddaughter upon collection. He tried to return the box, but his offer met weird hysterical refusal. Lately, he learned lots about the box. It is originated from Lodz ghetto, where in 1938 a group of women managed to conduct the spiritual séance resulted in trapping a dybbuk in the box. Dybbuk is a Jewish-folklore evil spirit, who represents a soul of dead person, which has unfinished business in the world of living. To make things done, dybbuk infuses in the human live being, which it ultimately devours at the end. But let's go back to the story, the box and its owner survived the horrors of World War 2, and emigrated to USA, where she died in 2001 and the box were sold to abovementioned Mannis. Finally, he brings this box home and opens it. Inside, he finds strange artifacts: locks of blonde and brunette hairs, dried flower buds, a goblet with remains of wine and the statue with Hebrew word Shalom, engraved on it. Lately he sold the box due to the numerous nightmares he and his wife suffered after the box appeared in their lives. All the later owners of "dybbuk box" have reported about these nightmares and curses that accompanied their lives since they bought the box. This true story has laid in the storyline's foundation of The Possession, the movie released in 2012. The film was directed by Ole Bornedal, and screenplay was written by Juliet Snowden and Stiles White. Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick are starring in the movie alongside with Grant Show, Madison Davenport and Natasha Calis. The last one portrays the main character, Em, who apparently becomes possessed by a dybbuk from the box.
