The Vatican Tapes

A bit nice with the rating perhaps. I mean it has alot of issues, Michael Pena (whom I usually like alot) is very stiff in this one (no not in his pants, it's not that kind of a movie) feels like he phoned it in as they say. Djimoun Hinsou being in it was something that interested me to see it as well but he was only in it for a couple minutes. Nicely shot but the editing is a bit wonky, whoever edited it doesn't get it to flow very well and it seems like they were deliberatly trying to make it as short as possible cutting from one scene to the next leaving as little dead time as possible. Clocking in at less than 90 minutes (the credits start rolling at around the 83 mark). Not a whole lot of surprises to be found, the idea of the ending was alright but again very rushed.

A relatively successful horror film with an interesting story that depicts the arrival and birth of the antichrist. Of course, this one definitely doesn't belong to the top horror movies, but even so an interesting spectacle that I wasn't bored after a long time. For those who like various films about exorcism, this film is definitely worth watching. Don't expect any miracles from this film, but for a good average it will be enough.

However, if the producers' idea was to create a film capable of convincing the 15-year-old couples to go to the cinema in the hope of some naughty hugs when she gets scared, or with the intention of seeing who will be more scared in the group, maybe they got what they wanted. For someone like me, who is part of the backstage of the Catholic Church, and who lived for years with all sorts of priests, it is a little difficult to understand all the “hype” around exorcism. I recognize that it is one of tho
