The Vatican Tapes (2015)

I haven't had such low expectations for a horror movie in a while. The trailer wasn't flattering at all and made it look like an incredibly generic found footage exorcism flick, and now that I've seen it, I can confirm that that is only half true. Despite the title, it's not a found footage movie, but it is a generic possession movie. In The Vatican Tapes, 20-something year-old Angela (get it?) gets possessed by a demon, but it's not just any demon; it's the Anti-Christ himself. A priest and two Vatican exorcists team up to try to exorcise Angela before it wreaks havoc on humanity. Surprisingly, The Vatican Tapes is actually a movie that gets better as it progresses, although that's really not saying too much. The first act of the film is its worst. Every exorcism movie cliche you could possibly think of is stuffed into twenty excruciating minutes, and it definitely made me fear for the rest of the movie. After that, The Vatican Tapes does get more interesting ever so slightly and has a couple of decent scares because Angela is now in a mental hospital, but still nothing we haven't seen from other, better movies. A black raven has to announce the next "scary scene," which completely ruins any tension the film might have had because the audience is now going to expect the next big obnoxious jump scare. The plot eventually decides that there should be an exorcism scene, and after a particularly lazy attempt to say why Angela is discharged and sent back home, the audience finally gets what they paid for. The exorcism scene itself takes up the last 20 minutes of the movie. It's admittedly pretty cool to watch since there are a few creepy and intense parts, and the pace slows down a bit to allow some atmosphere to build up. There's still this inescapable feeling that everything is still all too familiar to anyone who's seen a good possession movie. Then the ending comes. The ending is actually the only part of The Vatican Tapes that I wholeheartedly enjoyed. It ended the movie in a rather dark and powerful way, so much so that I'd like to see a sequel just to see where they could go with that ending. Even with the surprisingly good ending, it's not enough to warrant a recommendation for The Vatican Tapes, a been-there-done-that exorcism movie that has about as much soul as the possessed Angela. Another day, another exorcism.

5/10

Thanks! good synopsis. i was curious if it went somewhere new. kind of silly Vatican Tapes saying the demon is the antichrist, as the Vat would know Revelation specifies antichrist is a man.

Deliver Us from Evil (2014)

Considering how difficult it is to find a decent modern exorcism flick, it's always nice to find one that will be a visceral and sometimes scary ride. Deliver Us from Evil is one of those movies. Sinister director Scott Derrickson takes the helm of this cop procedural turned possession film Deliver Us from Evil which is based on NYPD sergeant Ralph Sarchie's allegedly "non-fiction" novel Beware the Night. I believe that this is based on true events about as much as I believe that The Conjuring and The Amityville Horror movies are "based on true events", but let's just roll with it. In Deliver Us from Evil, NYPD sergeant Ralph Sarchie, played by Eric Bana, teams up with a priest schooled in the rites of exorcism to investigate a series of crimes around their city. What makes this movie so much different than other exorcism movies is that it is primarily a cop procedural. A lot of the twists and thrills come from Sarchie investigating these crimes and finding new information and evidence, making this a uniquely gritty possession film. Deliver Us from Evil mostly thrives on the unpredictability of the plot rather than gross-out scares, Scott Derrickson's direction also allows some dense atmosphere throughout the entire film. Unfortunately, there are quite a few unnecessary jump scares littered throughout the movie. Some of the jump scares do actually work, but for every one that works, there are two more that fail miserably. It's the biggest drawback to an otherwise good film. Deliver Us from Evil, despite some horror cop-outs (pun definitely intended), is a gritty and surprisingly entertaining exorcism flick that should surprise and even scare you.

There wasn't one thing I didn't like about this movie! A young girl becomes "stalked" in a most unusual way and for a just as unusual reason. At times, I was reminded of both "Halloween" and the Swedish "Let the Right One In".

Yes! Finally a review not tainted by the hype backlash. I loved it too.

Ever heard of the bullet ant? They say a bite hurts as much as getting shot.

Have you seen Arachnophobia? How the scene plays out? It's not quite for comedy but how another character says "it's just a spider" and they show the small spider walk away, then the character says it felt like a cougar. Makes it seem funny. At least to me.

I know animals can do a lot of damage. I still find it crazy that the animal guy who used to play around with all sorts of dangerous alligators and stuff ended up getting killed by I believe a stingray.

Boring mix of drama and crime.

Yeah, no one expected Steve Irwin would die that way. Not after all he's done.
Meanwhile The Wildboyz are still alive after four seasons.

My God, that was awful.

Is that really how young people are these days? Are you like that?

Obviously I'm not the target generation for this utterly annoying waste of time.

It's that bad? I have it on my list to check out when it's on cable. I read the story on wiki and watched the trailer. I want to see how the twist plays out.

A man wants to die so he hires a killer to kill him but each time for some reason he survives.

This was fucking brilliant and aussie! I did not know where this was taking me but I sure enjoyed the ride. Had tons of awesome moments and some brutal parts. Fate. Do you believe in it??? Everything happens for a reason. ;)

The story about the danish surrender durring the WW2. The whole 88 minutes can pretty much be summarized in 1 word: RETREAT!!!

Yup, that's the danish military history right there. ::roll eyes::

What's kinda funny is that despite the somehow slow pace the 88 minutes flew by so fast. A really entertaining war flick,, which took me by surprise.
