The frequent use throughout the film of such devices as cell phone and surveillance footage, reminiscent of Sidney Lumet‘s underrated The Anderson Tapes, adds little more than visual distraction.

The familiar tropes are there - vomiting (although not of the impressive projectile variety), guttural speaking in a foreign language - as well as some new ones, including Angela displaying the signs of stigmata and coughing up three perfectly formed eggs.

Given up for dead by her doctors, she eventually flatlines, only to miraculously come back to life. Later, suffering from disorientation, she gets into a car accident and lands in the hospital in a months-long coma, attracting the interest of Iraq War veteran priest Father Lozano (Pena). While traveling home, a raven bursts through a bus window and attacks her hand, causing further damage. Her trouble begins when she slices her finger while cutting her birthday cake, leading to a quick trip to the hospital for stitches.
We’re then introduced to Angela ( Olivia Taylor Dudley) - the name is presumably deliberately ironic - a seemingly normal 27-year-old woman with a loving father (Scott) and an attentive boyfriend ( John Patrick Amedori). Read More ‘Jurassic World 2’ Set for 2018
