I was looking forward to watching this film, it seemed like it had so much potential, but I was very disappointed. I found the characters jarred against one another and the most believable was probably the raven. I feel that the bulk of what the film was really about all slumped to the latter end of the film, which made it seem rushed and inconsistent. What a shame.

In Los Angeles, Angela Holmes (Olivia Dudley) is a happy young woman, pride and joy of her father Colonel Roger Holmes (Dougray Scott) and in love with her boyfriend Peter "Pete" Smith (John Patrick Amedori). On her birthday party, she cuts her hand and Roger and Peter take her to the hospital. When she returns home, she has a seizure and they drive her back to the hospital. Then Angela is discharged but she pulls the wheel of the taxi causing a serious accident. She returns in coma to the hospital. Forty days later, she has no response and Father Oscar Lozano (Michael Peña) convinces Roger to unplug the life support system. Out of the blue, she awakes in perfect health. Soon Angela shows signs of demoniac possession and the Vatican sends Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson) to perform an exorcism to save her soul. Will there be time to save her body?"The Vatican Tapes" is a decent and underrated horror film, one of the best about exorcism. The plot is based on Catholic beliefs but is engaging. Most of the cast is excellent and has good performances; maybe only Michael Peña has an inexpressive performance. The conclusion has an open end maybe with the intention of a sequel. But in general, "The Vatican Tapes" is satisfactory with an appropriate use of Handycam or surveillance video. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): "Exorcistas do Vaticano" (Exorcists from the Vatican")

You'd get more chills from standing in front of your open refrigerator in the hottest part of Summer! Calling this movie a 'generic Exorcist' is an insult to that movie!So, let me help you not to waste your time... Oh no! Here comes the anti-Christ, and she's got perfect hair with a perfect part! That's it! Now you can go rent something worth watching, or do what I did and rent it from your local library, so you don't waste your money! If you want to have your own MST3K (Mystery Science Theater 3000) party, then this might be a winner that will gain plenty of laughs!Hmm.. and I smell bad fish... "Prerecorded videotape supplied by CBN ©2008 Christian Broadcasting Network Inc." Let's jump on the 'Found Footage' bandwagon and milk that fad! I guess they had to put something in there to convince people they should go see it! There's even videos on You Tube discussing how 'real' it is. *sigh* Justin Chang's review on Variety says, "For all that, "The Vatican Tapes" never becomes anything more than straight-up Catholic exploitation, pure and unapologetic." Yeah!It did get a reaction from me when the effects made it seem she almost tore her arms off, when she very severely dislocated them. I said, "Ugh!" I guess it was her later revealed healing ability that meant a few minutes later she showed no sign of injury! Or, perhaps she was creating a scary illusion? Anyway... So much for realism!About the only good things I can say is the special effects were pretty well done and the acting and direction not so terrible. Real shame about the script!
