Isn't it dreadful that when we hear the word "Vatican" associated with a film, we assume it's going to be a Dan Brown-style conspiracy thriller? But no! The Vatican Tapes is set to be a horror movie, and may help us slowly get over the hurt of all those Robert Langdon stories. Unhelpfully for our current state of mind, the plot is under wraps, but we're told that it's "spooky" and in the vein of Rosemary's Baby or The Exorcist. Hmm, the Pope gets pregnant and needs an exorcism? Wait, that doesn't sound right. Christopher Borrelli, who wrote creepy kidnap horror Whisper, is writing and directing, based on a story he wrote with Chris Morgan. Lionsgate and Lakeshore are producing.

Let's face it, it was going to be a horror wasn't it? Try pitching a Vatican committee meeting discussing ecumenical movements and the Catholic church's place and relevance in an ever developing and secularly-orientated society. 180 minutes long. Called "12 Vexed Bishops". ... Read More deredder About me

Oh Yes It's Hades Night, Oh What A Night
It could be to do with the exorcisms that are carried out in the Vatican. I've heard a tape recording of one girl's exorcism from there and it's bloody terrifying. Could be really scary if that's how they approach it. ... Read More BenTramer About me
