While this flick isn't the most original or best in its genre, it was a pretty descent one. Ending was also kinda original in my opinion. Overall, i kinda see why "The Vatican Tapes" has such a lot rating at IMDb (4.5 at the moment) - lots of recent horror movies about possession and exorcism are shoot in "found footage" style, but this one plays straight and its overall look is inconsistent, there are many close ups and shaky camera and some weird shoots, but as a whole i liked this style and as i have mentioned it creates this tension and feeling of uncertainty. Directing was also OK, and i kinda liked cinematography and editing, they create this feeling of uncertainty. Djimon Hounsou is also a bit miscast, although this 2 times Oscar nominee is much more believable in this role. The film finished its theatrical run four weeks later, on August 20, having grossed 1,784,763 domestically. Michael Peña is totally miscast in this movie, he is one of the most reliable "comic reliefs" in industry at the moment, so it is hard to take him seriously in priest robe with serious face, there were some scenes with him near the end when i just wanted to chuckle - not that he is a bad actor, he is solid one, but at this moment in his carrier this kind of movie is clearly not his strongest side. The Vatican Tapes opened theatrically on Jin 427 venues, earning 832,271 in its first weekend, ranking fifteenth in the United States box office and last among the week's new releases. It has not bad mood for this kind of horror movie, and although it has clichés all around, the overall experience was positive. ![]() While the plot is not really original, the ending kinda was original, really original. ![]() Holmes is examined and possession is suspected, but when the Vatican is called upon to exorcise the demon, the possession. Angela Holmes is ordinary 27-year- old until she begins to have a devastating effect on anyone close, causing serious injury and death. "The Vatican Tapes" (2015) is a very enjoyable "possession / exorcism" movie. THE VATICAN TAPES follows the ultimate battle between good and evil- God versus Satan.
