Coming to theaters on July 24th is the new exorcism film The Vatican Tapes, which stars Michael Pena, Djimon Hounsou, Dougray Scott, Peter Andersson, Olivia Dudley, and Cas Anvar. The film tells the story of 27-year-old Angela Holmes and the horrible circumstances that seem to follow her, disastrously and, sometimes fatally, affecting those around her.
In anticipation of this film, we have an exclusive sneak peek at the soundtrack, which was composed by one of my favorite horror composers, Joseph Bishara. The video below uses unsettling scenes of nature, the camera jittering over abandoned and dying flora. The music infects and infests its way into your soul, its dissonance befitting of some demonic entity.
Directed by Mark Neveldine, The Vatican Tapes synopsis reads:
[The film] follows the ultimate battle between good and evil- God versus Satan. Angela Holmes 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 (Pena) to wage war for more than just Angela’s soul, but for the world as we know it.
The soundtrack hits Apple Music this Friday, July 17th.
