Movie spotlight
In a highly secured vault deep within the walls of Vatican City, the Catholic Church holds thousands of old films and video footage documenting exorcisms/supposed exorcisms and other unexplained religious phenomena they feel the world is not ready to see. This is the first tape - Case 83-G - stolen from these archives and exposed to the public by an anonymous source.
A young woman named Angela Holmes begins to exhibit increasingly disturbing and violent behavior. As her condition worsens, it becomes clear that she may be possessed by a powerful demonic force. A group of Vatican-exorcists are sent to investigate and ultimately combat the evil entity before it can fully manifest and wreak havoc on the world.
