The Vatican Tapes (2015)
For 2,000 years the Vatican has recorded evidence of evil. May God have mercy on their souls.
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.
In The Vatican Tapes, consciousness is carried by animals. The story fights on E8/E11 of the E0–E14 reality ladder.
Same rung, same subject
Films fighting at the same level of reality, about the same things.
Same subject, different rung
