The vatican tapes documentary
Richards (Kathleen Robertson), suffering from the effects of being possessed by the devil. Later on, she is under psychiatric care under Dr. Holmes is subsequently examined and possession is suspected, but when the Vatican is called upon to exorcise the demon, the possession proves to be an ancient satanic force more powerful than ever imagined. At the beginning Angela has an argument with her overprotective daddy (Dougray Scott), shortly after she has a convulsion and her father and fiancé carry her to the hospital until she begins to have a devastating effect on anyone close, causing serious injury and death.
Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor) is an ordinary 27-year-old who lives with her boyfriend (John Patrick). Truly terrifiyng story following the ultimate battle between good and evil - God versus Satan. For 2,000 years the Vatican has recorded evidence of evil. THE VATICAN TAPES is a creepy and horror film about exorcism, professionally, though flawed, directed by Mark Neveldine. Title (Brazil): "Exorcistas do Vaticano" (Exorcists from the Vatican") But in general, "The Vatican Tapes" is satisfactory with an appropriate use of Handycam or surveillance video. The conclusion has an open end maybe with the intention of a sequel. Most of the cast is excellent and has good performances maybe only Michael Peña has an inexpressive performance. The plot is based on Catholic beliefs but is engaging. Will there be time to save her body? "The Vatican Tapes" is a decent and underrated horror film, one of the best about exorcism.
Soon Angela shows signs of demoniac possession and the Vatican sends Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson) to perform an exorcism to save her soul. Out of the blue, she awakes in perfect health.
Forty days later, she has no response and Father Oscar Lozano (Michael Peña) convinces Roger to unplug the life support system. Then Angela is discharged but she pulls the wheel of the taxi causing a serious accident. When she returns home, she has a seizure and they drive her back to the hospital. On her birthday party, she cuts her hand and Roger and Peter take her to the hospital. In Los Angeles, Angela Holmes (Olivia Dudley) is a happy young woman, pride and joy of her father Colonel Roger Holmes (Dougray Scott) and in love with her boyfriend Peter "Pete" Smith (John Patrick Amedori). This was released theatrically but it's more fitting as one of the countless VOD offerings. The exorcism doesn't have pea soup but it does have CGI fire. It's security camera footage and slow moving plot. Angela could work if it goes more into the demon world. It should have Father Lozano as the protagonist since he's the most natural point of view. It has worthwhile actors but not all of them stick around. Angela is put into a group home under the supervision of psychiatrist Dr. There's an incident and the police is called in but Father Lozano (Michael Peña) sees the supernatural. Strange things start to happen including her unquenchable thirst. She cuts herself with the cake knife and reluctantly goes to the hospital. Two months earlier, her boyfriend Pete Smith (John Patrick Amedori) throws her a surprise birthday party with her father (Dougray Scott) attending. Vicar Imani (Djimon Hounsou) shows Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson) the case of Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley). The Vatican has maintained tapes of possible satanic possessions over the years. I appreciate the inclusion of old action B-movie stars like Michael Pare and Daniel Bernhardt in the plot, but what's the point of having them do nothing? THE VATICAN TAPES is a slow-moving tale that delivers one cliché after another, particularly an uninspired exorcism scene which certainly isn't worth sitting around for. Once again Michael Pena wastes a potentially interesting character role, while Alison Lohman creates a character totally unsympathetic to the viewer. The narrative is clichéd and the dialogue pretty rotten, so solid actors like Dougray Scott and Djimon Hounsou are given very little to do other than show up. THE VATICAN TAPES half wants to be a realistic found footage movie, although it isn't for the other half, it just adopts random shaking camera-work in order to portray the unfolding events. Neveldine's quirky direction undoubtedly drags down this film's enjoyment level from the start. You may - or may not - remember Neveldine as one of the pair behind such delights as CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE and GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE, two of the dumbest films made in the last decade. Although this film bags some interesting character actors in support, it also has in director Mark Neveldine one of the lamest guys in Hollywood behind the camera.

Hollywood seems to be content to churn out one cookie cutter possession movie after another at the moment.
