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.

The only thing different it really does with the Anti Christ twist is the ending. I can tell you how it ends in a PM if you want, but idk if you want to see it yourself. I don't know when it is going to be widely released.

Still Waters aka Angel, 2015. 4/10



Another storyline that coulda been superb but it wasn't presented very well.

A little girl severely abused by her grandmother, ends up killing her and is sent away but 10 or so years later is released back into society by the government. Is she reformed or is the government trying to hide something?!?

Shakma
(1990, just barely made it in contemporary.)

Even for a monster type flick with a slasher formula this was terrible. A baboon that was tested on is to be put down, only to defy death and kill a bunch of med students playing a DnD game in the building after hours. Sexism, characters making stupid fuck decisions, a killer easy enough to punt across the room to get away from; what's to love.

Make up effects were fairly decent. The one kids face getting melted off in a failed attempt to get away looked fabulous. And it could have maybe been suspenseful when the baboon threw itself at doors to try and get to its victims. But it was so fucking stupid it was just laughable. At least the attack on Gary (I think that was the kid's name) was a great kill. Nice mauling, and the bloody, gaping maw was lovely.

''We're all gonna die! But there's someone waiting by the sidewalk in a car we could get help from! I'll get her attention with... these! *throws silverware and marbles*" I would've gone for the fucking water cooler. And now look. She drove away. Maybe you should've tried plates.

Ending was clever at least. Took Sam long enough to use his fucking head. And these kids were going to be DOCTORS?

Kung Fury (2015)
"In 1985, Kung Fury, the toughest martial artist cop in Miami, goes back in time to kill the worst criminal of all time - kung fuhrer Hitler."

Holy shitballs this 30min movie was a total blast.
It's like a really cheesy 80's action flick with lots of video game influences.
I wish I could tell more, but the less you know the more fun it is.

Edit: You can watch it here for free
