In an attempt to save Angela Holmes, a young smart and beautiful girl, who suffers from being haunted, the thing that leads to priests from the Vatican, who struggle against finding out that she is haunted by a satanic force that more powerful, the thing that risks their life.
It may be nothing new, bar a few moments of in-your-face ridiculousness, but The Vatican Tapes is a pretty decent addition to the ever-growing list of exorcism films.
The director Mark Neveldine deploys queasy lighting and a trembling score, but his best choice is to let Ms. Dudley stare at us. She conveys unnerving shifts in self-awareness and sinister intent with her eyes.
The film from director Mark Neveldine is so over the top that one can't help but imagine how the Wayans brothers might lampoon it, then embarrassingly recall them doing exactly so in "A Haunted House."
