Another year, another exorcism movie. You might think audiences would already be tired of Hollywood serving one half-baked exorcism movie after another, but the bottom line is that people keep buying tickets, and if budgets are low enough, and profit margins continue to be decent, they'll keep making them. And so, here we are with "The Vatican Tapes."

It is by no means essential that an audience care for the characters on screen in a movie, but if you want your audience invested in what happens to the characters it certainly helps. Put another way, if the audience forms a relationship with the characters, the audience will care more. This does not occur in The Vatican Tapes, Mark Neveldine's new film about a young woman possessed by a malevolent spirit.

It’s no ordinary case of demonic possession that rouses the attention of the Catholic Church in “The Vatican Tapes” — more like the sort of full-on egg-vomiting, eyeball-gouging spiritual meltdown that suggests the Antichrist herself now walks among us. And director Mark Neveldine, who is no master of dread but a dab hand at dispensing regular shocks, brings an undeniable lunatic conviction to this cheaply derivative religio-horror freakout, while running up the sort of abnormally high body count you’d expect from a “Die Hard” sequel rather than an occult thriller.

Things are going to be getting quite stormy in the next all-new episode of The Flash, both figuratively and literally, as Barry and Linda join Iris and Eddie on an awkward double date and a new Weather Wizard, Clyde Mardon’s brother Mark (played by Liam McIntryre), emerges to wreak havoc in Central City.
Looks creepy enough
