The Rite (2011)

The Rite strikes me as a movie close to the Christian heart as it does bring chills for those lacking in faith, as depicted in the movie.  There's less movie effects in the movie, but the plot of the movie was wicked enough to make you glued. 

If you are a Christian, you'd leave the movie hall feeling refreshed over your religion and how it can make a difference in your life.  It would also make you think of what have you done for 'Him', despite what 'He' has done for you. Overall, I enjoyed the movie although it wouldn't beat the very first movie involving exorcism, which is The Exorcist.

Congkak (2008) - Malay

Congkak actually starts decently by playing on the better side of the Asian supernatural side. However, as the movie goes on to the end, it changed from a horror movie to some what a comedy with huge elements of 'Goku' and illogical scenes.

The effort put in Congkak is indeed decent, but I felt it was rather sad that the plot was loose. Altough I do not know much about the Malay culture, but it does seem rather surreal that it only needs a single man to do exorcism, and to defeat 'bad spirits'. Even more interesting is that the movie fails do actually picture a realistic Malaysian background, hence indirectly bringing up the 'fake' feel in the movie.

The acting wasn't that great either with lack of expression found on all the actors, which immediately killing the 'feel' of the movie. I have to say, Jangan Tegur would be a much better choice to this movie.
