In response to a global rise in demonic possessions, Ann seeks out a place at an exorcism school reopened by the Catholic Church. Until now these schools have only trained priests in the Rite of Exorcism – but a professor (Colin Salmon) recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Thrust onto the spiritual frontline with fellow student Father Dante (Christian Navarro), Sister Ann finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl, who Sister Ann believes is possessed by the same demon that tormented her own mother years ago.

There is plenty wrong with Prey for the Devil, but despite cringy moments of profound seriousness around a rather silly conceit, I was on board. It’s been decades since an exorcism film left me feeling unsettled. Prey for the Devil’s tactics might be cheap, but they worked on me. Read full review

Rather good actors do indeed keep a straight face, as does the film overall. And Stamm’s jump scares aren’t bad, as they go. He hasn’t made a very suspenseful movie, but he’s avoided both dullness and unintentional laughs. Read full review

The effects are decent, the acting desultory in “Prey for the Devil,” a School for Exorcists thriller that promises more than it delivers. Read full review

More often than not, we can ignore the message if we’d like and just enjoy a scary movie. Prey for the Devil, however, seems to have been developed as deliberate propaganda. Read full review

The most frustrating thing about Prey For The Devil is that there seems to be a good movie somewhere in this patchwork of themes and pastiches. Read full review

I really enjoyed this movie. I jumped out of my skin about six times. I'd go watch it again.

great movie, great effects, don't know how anyone could give this a negative review, however this is 2023 where we are living in a world where wrong is right and right is wrong and violence and corruption rules.

There’s only so much you can do with this genre of movie. You already know it’s good vs evil and each character is going to have their own trials and tribulations.

You already know it’s good vs evil and each character is going to have their own trials and tribulations. I found the characters to be likable and interesting. The writing and acting were good and the movie flowed nicely. Let’s face it, there was only one time a movie like the Exorcist can be released. I think those who are raking this movie over the coals have an expectation issue. If you want a good escape from the world for 90 minutes with a few jumps and gasps along the way, you could do a lot worse than going out and seeing this movie. Worth the price of admission.… Expand

Yes, it was only a matter of time before we needed inclusion even for exorcisms, because I mean, why not?
But what's the point, if its creators show so little desire to do things worth the investment of their time?

I think I should mention that there are moments that work in terms of atmosphere, very minimal to tell the truth, but past that, all the tricks of exorcism films are here, as tedious as they are predictable.… Expand

¿Posesiones demoníacas y monjas? Que innovador, películas de este tipo las hay a patadas y son todas iguales.
