It's security camera footage and slow moving plot. Angela could work if it goes more into the demon world. It should have Father Lozano as the protagonist since he's the most natural point of view.

It has worthwhile actors but not all of them stick around. Angela is put into a group home under the supervision of psychiatrist Dr. There's an incident and the police is called in but Father Lozano (Michael Peña) sees the supernatural. Strange things start to happen including her unquenchable thirst.

She cuts herself with the cake knife and reluctantly goes to the hospital. Two months earlier, her boyfriend Pete Smith (John Patrick Amedori) throws her a surprise birthday party with her father (Dougray Scott) attending.

Vicar Imani (Djimon Hounsou) shows Cardinal Bruun (Peter Andersson) the case of Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley). The Vatican has maintained tapes of possible satanic possessions over the years. I appreciate the inclusion of old action B-movie stars like Michael Pare and Daniel Bernhardt in the plot, but what's the point of having them do nothing? THE VATICAN TAPES is a slow-moving tale that delivers one cliché after another, particularly an uninspired exorcism scene which certainly isn't worth sitting around for. Once again Michael Pena wastes a potentially interesting character role, while Alison Lohman creates a character totally unsympathetic to the viewer. The narrative is clichéd and the dialogue pretty rotten, so solid actors like Dougray Scott and Djimon Hounsou are given very little to do other than show up. THE VATICAN TAPES half wants to be a realistic found footage movie, although it isn't for the other half, it just adopts random shaking camera-work in order to portray the unfolding events. Neveldine's quirky direction undoubtedly drags down this film's enjoyment level from the start. You may - or may not - remember Neveldine as one of the pair behind such delights as CRANK: HIGH VOLTAGE and GHOST RIDER: SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE, two of the dumbest films made in the last decade. Although this film bags some interesting character actors in support, it also has in director Mark Neveldine one of the lamest guys in Hollywood behind the camera. Hollywood seems to be content to churn out one cookie cutter possession movie after another at the moment.
