THE VATICAN TAPES Trailer: A Religious Horror Film From CRANK Co-Director

Mark Neveldine is best known as part of the writing and directing duo Neveldine/Taylor, the guys who brought us Crank, Crank 2: High Voltage, Gamer, and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. But Neveldine is making his personal directorial debut on The Vatican Tapes, a new religious horror film that stars Michael Pena and Djimon Hounsou.

Pena and Hounsou play priests who track Satan's movements as he inhabits one host after another, eventually stumbling into the body of Angela Holmes (Olivia Taylor Dudley). But since this movie very clearly falls square in the middle of the religious horror genre, their exorcism doesn't quite go as planned and all hell breaks loose. Take a look at the first trailer below, thanks to Yahoo! Movies.

This could go either way for me. Neveldine has certainly proven to be a kinetic filmmaker, and the movie is based on a story co-written by Fast & Furious writer/producer Chris Morgan, so we'll see how it turns out when it drops into theaters on May 22nd, 2015.
