One point before I begin: it's on video already because it was shot as a straight to video film... not because it didn't have any pull at the box office.
I enjoyed Birth Rite quite a bit, although by no means the best film I have seen.
An interesting point is that it was shot on high definition digital video as opposed to 16 or 32mm film, which is the standard.
The music used during the opening and closing credits, fit the film very well. It was by the band "SPF 1000"
----Could be a Spoiler----
One aspect that I found hard to believe was how easily Rebecca game to grip with the fact she had powers. If some one told me I had powers I don't think my response would be "cool, can I do..." The excessive use of a zoom lenses in the opening scene did it's job communicating a sense of chaos and unease, however I'm not sure what was happening in the frame was also conveying the same image. This kind of camera work would work well when the two men broke into the ritual and the fight sequence where the emotions associated with them would be better placed.
score /10
