According to real-life Vatican reports, occurrences of demonic possession have increased significantly in recent years. In response, the Catholic church has secretly reopened exorcism schools to train priests in the sacred rite. The Devil's Light immerses you into the world of one of these schools; humanity's last line of defense against the powers of everlasting evil. Jacqueline Byers ("Roadies," "Salvation") stars as Sister Ann, who devoutly believes that performing exorcisms is her calling, despite the fact that historically only priests - not sisters - are allowed to perform them. When one professor senses her special gift, allowing her to be the first nun to study and master the ritual, her own soul will be in danger as the demonic forces she battles reveal a mysterious connection to her traumatic past.
Leave your thoughts about Prey for the Devil.
| Original-CinThom ErnstThere 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. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyRather 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. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreThe effects are decent, the acting desultory in “Prey for the Devil,” a School for Exorcists thriller that promises more than it delivers. |
| ColliderMarco Vito OddoMore 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. |
| The A.V. ClubLeigh MonsonThe 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. |
| User ReviewTheresaMcCuenI really enjoyed this movie. I jumped out of my skin about six times. I'd go watch it again. |
| User ReviewStudivangreat 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. |
| User Reviewbxwhit3There’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. 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. |
