A Haunting Descent Into Darkness In "THE VATICAN TAPES"

Rewriting the horror genre, “The Vatican Tapes” began when Lionsgate and Lakeshore Entertainment received the haunting spec script that took the classic horror concept of demonic possession and elevated it to an even more chilling level by introducing the anti-Christ.

Mark Neveldine directs “The Vatican Tapes” from a screenplay by Chris Borelli and Michael Martin about a woman who has been consumed by the anti-Christ.  Neveldine, having gone to Catholic school, had a personal grasp on the world of The Vatican Tapes, and after discussing the project with producers, Tom Rosenberg and Gary Lucchesi, he jumped aboard the project. “I’ve always wanted to do a possession film.  Something supernatural, but grounded in reality,” says Neveldine. 

REEL DEAL: Powerful Satanic Force Unlike Any Revealed From “THE VATICAN TAPES”

Enter the terrifying world of “The Vatican Tapes.”  From the filmmakers of the hit “The Exorcism of Emily Rose,” Horror-thriller “The Vatican Tapes” dives into a modern day story of good and evil, while exploring the devastating and widespread consequences of a demonic possession.  

“The Vatican Tapes” follows the ultimate battle between good and evil - God versus Satan. Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley) is an ordinary 27-year-old until she begins to have a devastating effect on anyone close, causing serious injury and death. Holmes is examined and possession is suspected, but when the Vatican is called upon to exorcise the demon, the possession proves to be an ancient satanic force more powerful than ever imagined. It’s all up to Father Lozano (Michael Peῆa) to wage war for more than just Angela’s soul, but for the world as we know it.  The film also stars Djimon Hounsou.
