The Vatican Tapes

Cast: Olivia Taylor Dudley(Angela),Dougray Scott(Roger), Michael Peña(Father Lozano), John Patrick Amedori(Pete), Peter Andersson(Cardinal Brunn) and Kathleen Robertson(Dr. Richards)
Director: Mark Neveldine
Genre: Horror


Its more of an Anti-Christ movie than a horror kind. I like the end, but for those coming for horror, will be greatly disappointed



You may look forward to:

• Olivia Taylor Dudley is good. One of horror movies, where you see a victim of demonic possession coming out prettier than ever by the end of the film :) She does a good job to what she was given to do
• Dougray Scott and John Patrick Amedori, were important supporting roles. They also did good, less drama and more specific to working things out
• The one good aspect of this horror flick is its end. This is certainly something new to me. Rise of the Anti-Christ and the perception for it was unique. Imagine devil walking the earth in the disguise of a god-man, whom you would want to follow not knowing how tactically it turns you against god in return! One you cannot fight!

What you can sleep over:

• The next major role was that of Michael Peña. I have to say, i am so used to his comic representation, his serious avatar just doesn't sink in
• Peter Andersson and Kathleen Robertson were ok support. They looked very important, but didn't really do much

The dampeners you should be aware of:

Big thumbs down to its horror content. Watch the entire flick with eyes wide open, rest assured, there is not even a single scene even close to spook you out. I wonder what was the director thinking!! It doesn't bore you, but doesn't scare you either.




My Rating: 2.5/5 (Only for its intriguing end)

1- Poor  2-Average  3-Good  4-Very Good  5- Outstanding
