'The Last Rite' Hulu Review: Stream It or Skip It?
Stream It Or Skip It: ‘The Last Rite’ on Hulu, a Horror Story of Possession and Exorcism That’s a Pazu-Snooze
Another day, another nice lady gets her mind occupied by a demonic entity, in The Last Rite, now on Hulu. This Australian horror-drama tells a story of a BF and GF who are kind of on the rocks and might need a little couples therapy, but they definitely don’t need a shadow-being being one of the things coming between them – a shadow-being who may just need to get hella exorcised right outta there, which implies that he’s maybe a demon. So is he our old pal Pazuzu, you know, Pazooz, Pazoozes, the Pazoozmeister General? Dunno, but he strikes a pose like good ol’ home invader Babadook, Babs, the Dook, the Duke of Dookington, Dook Dook Dook Dook of Earl Dook of Earl. Now let’s see if this movie has an original thought bumping around in its skull.
What Movies Will It Remind You Of?: The Last Rite would really appreciate it if you compared it to The Exorcist and The Babadook, but the reality pie here is, it’s more along the lines of The Exorcism of Emily Rose.
