YMMV / The Rite

• Complete Monster: Ba'al, notably cruel and petty, is a high-ranking demon who is responsible for a string of possessions and attacks in Vatican City. Initially, Ba'al possesses and torments a pregnant teenager named Rosaria, and her baby; he would even claim that he possessed her father, having him rape and impregnate her in the first place. Having a fixation on the seminarian Michael Kovak, Ba'al relentlessly mocks him for the misery in his life, having Michael's father killed by a fatal stroke, before seemingly taking his soul to Hell and having him call his son from there. Ba'al eventually kills Rosaria and her baby, using the exorcist Father Lucas Trevant's guilt and failure to possess him. Ba'al also claims that he and his fellow demons are responsible for the torment and death of Angelina's brother, before trying to force Michael to submit to possession himself.
• Narm: The demonic mule, complete with Red Eyes, is not as terrifying as the filmmakers seemed to think.
