Ghost at their best. Great songs and great entertainment, nearly as good as being there. I came out of the cinema with that "I want to see this again tomorrow night" feeling that I would normally have after seeing a live show. The extra scenes were the usual comedy awkwardness that added to the background story of ghost. Tobias is the king of the music and entertainment package. I would have liked to have been at that particular concert just a shame it was a few thousand miles away. I'll be buying the dvd and soundtrack as soon as possible. If you are a fan of ghost or music in general, you won't be disappointed.

Tobias and his team did not disappoint to say the least.

From the beginning to the end you really just want to sing along and then with the added story into the movie is a nice touch added by Tobias adding to the lore of ghost.

(no spoilers sorry)

If you're a ghost fan like myself and understand the humor that ghost always provides then you will not be disappointed with this movie if you haven't seen it yet.

Tobias also made the movie that extra special by adding the crowds reaction to the music during the concert filming making you as the viewer feel like you are there in that crowd watching ghost preform their iconic music infront of you. And remember. If you have ghosts, you have everything.

Ghost has never ceased to amaze me with the music, story, and everything that goes into it for the few years i've been into them. Tobias has not let us down, with beautiful cinematic shots and composition from intricate storyline that both old and new fans can enjoy alike. I am proud of him and the utter amount of passion he has for his craft, and as a creative myself I hope to put the same amount of blood, sweat, and tears that he does into everything he does. I have listened to work from Tobias's other bands over the years, and he never ceases to amaze me with his talents. Whether you just found Ghost or have had Ghost, haha, this is a must watch.

The goldilocks weaving of cinema and live performance. It's no secret that Tobias is a lifelong fan of film and to see him finally realize his own cinematic vision with Ghost is nothing short of perfectly satisfying. Live sets stunningly reimagined and gloriously triumphant. The best live performance visual and sound quality captured on camera I've ever witnessed interwoven with hilarious, spooky and genuinely profound existential storytelling. Cardi is more than ever his wonderfully goofball self with that charm that keeps us coming back. The payoff is delicious and left me craving for what's to come. As a fan since 2013, I can once again say that Ghost only gets better as time marches on. Thank you Tobias and Team!

Personally i struggle with crowds so i was already super excited to be able to experience a ritual for the first time.

The story and message is well delivered tobias really put his whole tobussy into this and it absolutely shows.i WILL die on this hill.

Loved everything from the soundtrack to the comedic bits and the end credits scene l. Perfect sense of comedic timing and when to get more serious. Everyone did amazing and im glad i managed to stay alive long enough to be able to experience this film.

Whoever wrote that one guardian article is a lil punk btw that whole thing reeked of elitism.

Insane feeling of being live at the concert. The picture, the shots and angles, the cutting, the small intersections of the behind-the scenes dialogue is all so smoothly weaved together in the web of the Ghost lore. It feels very natural and it is very skillfully done as it very well could have been a chopped up disaster. I have seen nothing like this before, it's a whole new genre invented - the Ghouvie. It's funny, it's warm and this is a movie that is above all, despite the technical triumphs, done with the heart and soul. The passion Tobias has for Ghost is radiating from the screen. Don't miss it, you're in for a ride.

I consider it a film exclusively for fans, because in addition to a complete concert of the band, it shows scenes related to the history of the band, which makes it not only a concert film, but also a dramatic comedy that puts fans aware of what will happen, I think it is a very fun movie, with excellent music and fairly well done cinematography for being Tobias Forge's first film, obviously it has some slight errors that do not affect the experience, personally I give it a 9.0 as a fan, I recommend this movie if you are a faithful follower of the band, you will definitely like it a lot... greetings.

I was at the LA show, seeing it all captured with clear visuals and BEAUTIFUL cinematography was breath taking. It was like living it all over, you could hear Papa sing so loud and proud, the vocals were better than ever and it was so entertaining! A friend who came with me who isn't particularly a huge dan of ghost grabbed my attention when he began to tear up during a certain song- an amazing performance. You can't deny that when Ghost puts on a show, they put in their all. Of course, the expanse on the lore was amazing too, loose ends ties and new ones unraveled, now there is more surprises yet to come. Can't wait to see what happens next!

GHOST: RITE HERE RITE NOW is essentially a filmed concert with a few tacked-on scenes trying to make it feel like a proper plotted movie. Now, I'm no heavy metal fan, I'd never heard of the band beforehand so I'm not the target market at all, but I did enjoy this one. At least, I enjoyed the music. The songs are melodic, tuneful, occasionally powerful, and delivered with gusto by the main singer and the accompanying musicians. The rest I was less smitten on: the cheesy behind-the-scenes stuff feels like that lost-in-translation guff you get in the Eurovision Song Contest, and the "acting" is woeful. Focus on the music and you'll have a good time.

I tricked my wife into going to see this gem with me when we saw it at Alamo, but it was worth the vodka with Sprite that I got her. Secretly, I think she liked it, but won't admit it. If you didn't catch them on tour, this film will give you the next best thing. Tobias Forge is a genius and just knows how to draw you in and captivate the audience. I can't speak for someone who is a casual fan of Ghost because I'm already a total fanatic, but hopefully this film will turn casual fans into disciples of the Clergy. Even though the majority of the film is concert footage, Forge figures out how to weave in an entertaining story line. I hope it goes to video soon to appeal to a wider audience. I'm grateful that I saw it in the theater.

What an amazing movie this was!

Ghost are becoming one of the greatest rock/metal bands of all time and Tobias Forge definitely one of the greatest frontmen that we have ever seen! They have never disappointed and their attention to detail is just mind blowing.

This is not just a movie where a band just plays some of their hit songs in some venue somewhere in the world.

This movie was shot in Ghost's "no cellphones allowed" LA concert in late 2023, and other than great performances of some of their best songs, also has an intricate plot, sure to keep you at the edge of your seat, whether you are a die hard fan, a casual fan, a lover of rock/metal music or even if you haven't listened to any of their songs ever!

I tried really hard not to spoil it for those who haven't watched it yet.

This was a real spectacle, and in my opinion the best "band movie" ever written and produced.

Ghost are poised for Legendary status and we are lucky to live in their age.

"If you have Ghost, you have everything".

Well done guys!

The best film I've seen to-date, and arguably the best concert film that has ever been produced and premiered on the big screens of cinemas.

A mixture between the band's lore and showcasing all what happened on the nights of September 11 and 12 in Los Angeles, California. This was an incredibly amazing experience and immersed the attendees so much so to the point where they felt like they time traveled back to 2023 and were at these shows.

An amazing, seamless mixture between shots filmed backstage and footage from the shows, this kept all viewers - whether they're fans of Ghost, or not - on the edge of their seats with awe-inspiring camera angles, camera cuts, the color correction, the sound design, and the amazing sound quality overall to add the cherry (or well... icing) on the cake to keep all fans - old, or new, former, or current - invested into the 2H+ spectacle that is Rite Here Rite Now and make it an unforgettable experience and memories that you will carry to your ghoulish graves.

This film is not only about the band's lore that most die-hard fans love to get an expansion of whenever they can, it is also very open and very accessible for those fans who are either not interested; the casuals. It also provides a lot of comedic skits that Ghost is generally known for pulling off.

This is a MUST-SEE experience and I highly suggestion seeing in theaters or picking up a DVD, Blu-Ray or digital copy whenever available.

As a fan of both Ghost's music and it's "lore," this was an incredible watch for me. The gags and all of Copia's Copia-isms were a delight, and the footage of the Kia Forum show was spectacular in visuals and audio quality. It was incredible getting to see all of the ghouls and Papa himself in such high definition, and hearing his live vocals without the distortion of being at an outdoor venue or the sound of the crowd competing with the music.

The plot is pretty simple, as most of the movie is just the concert itself, but it added just enough to feel like a cohesive joining of the YouTube content and the live rituals. The jokes may have been corny to some, but the Ghesties who get it, get it. The animated sequence was hilarious, and the twist ending was a great callback to Copia's introduction in the Chapters series.

First I will say, this made my life. I've watched plenty of live performances but nothing compares to this. In the last 8 years I've developed terrible anxiety in large crowds. Vans warped tour and Ozzfest were what I grew up going to in Ca. I've dreamt and hoped I would figure something out to be able to see GHOST live. The minute I got to listen to their music and then saw the band, I was in love. As if a band was created specifically for me. Many others probably feel this too.

This was bright and loud and funny and everything I could have imagined. It made me fulfilled as if I got my dream. Watching a behind the scenes type of story line and a breathtaking performance. The talent, precision and quality is exactly what you would come to expect from Tobias. Nothing less than perfect!!!! I will be owning this when that is possible. It was one of my greatest memories that I will forever cherish.

Rite Here Rite Now is a masterpiece. Putting the best band in the world on screen is cool enough, but they make so much more with the brief backstage scenes and drama. Fortunately, they know the primary appeal is the live performance, so the interludes never detract from that. I was fortunate to have been there for the opening night of the tour and was blown away by the performance. Still, while the film is similar, this includes more from Impera (the show I saw in Reno was right before the release of the album, so we only got Kaisarion and Hunters Moon at our performance). I really appreciated seeing more of Impera performed live. Even Twentiies was a treat with the dancers. If you even remotely like Ghost, you owe it to yourself to see this film.

Simply incredible footage of this highly rated live band. It's about 85% fabulously performed and filmed concert and 15% continuation of their lore. (in the most creative and seamless way) Honestly if these reviewers that wanted more of one or the other...HOW can Tobias Forge please everyone? To me it was the perfect blend. Also, for those giving it a low rating because they thought it would have been something else, well that just isn't fair. To the new fan whose review was low because they were more "Satanic" than he thought...he doesn't know Ghost at all. His loss. What an experience! Only complaint for me was that our theaters never carried the themed cups or popcorn buckets.

An excellent show recorded in LA, decent selection of ghost's songs in costume, plenty of angles and audience shots. Couple of tracks with dancers involved too.

Annoyingly it keeps cutting away from the songs for random bits that supposedly take place backstage. Some people are saying they love the added "lore", I found it breaking my enjoyment of any song it happened in the middle of. Not to mention Mary on a cross down as a cartoon rather than the live performance. And stuff like him making a big deal of changing his shoes on stage. Odd. Overall I like the band's music and enjoyed this, just wish for less breakaways and oddities.

As a massive ghost fan, the live performance is amazing, this movie made me nothing but want to see the live performance again and not see the recording of it, I wish it was clearer from trailer and description this is simply a high fidelity recording of the performance with some annoying silly story between the songs.

Wish it wasn't overpriced, wish I didn't see this, could've just watched performance on Youtube instead of the silly story and 1/10 acting by supporting cast left a lot to be wished for, I went to this hoping they really fleshed out the story, the movie started strong but it just fell flat on its face after a strong intro and lead nowhere, totally lost oppourtunity.

This movie was amazing, as someone who's a somewhat recent ghost fan after finding them in September of 2022 or at least around that time; i'm so proud of how far the band has come. Music is great, acting is good and the story is added in so nicely. The live versions of the songs were outstanding and the overall message of the film was just so moving and simply good. Not to spoil too much but the film tells you about life and how sometimes there's good and sometimes there's bad but you gotta keep going. Additionally, there were many fun surprises and twists and inclusions of one or two quite unexpected songs. Basically, watch this film.
