Prey for the Devil
In response to a global rise in demonic possessions, the Catholic Church reopens exorcism schools to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. On this spiritual battlefield, an unlikely warrior rises: a young nun, Sister Ann. Thrust onto the spiritual frontline with fellow student Father Dante, Sister Ann finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl and soon realizes the Devil has her right where he wants her.
Why it matters
A conventional possession horror that leans heavily on familiar exorcism tropes but centers on a conflicted young nun navigating faith and mental health.
- Jacqueline Byers brings nuance to Sister Ann, whose personal trauma adds emotional weight to the spiritual battles.
- Blends medical and religious approaches, reflecting ongoing genre tensions between psychiatry and possession mythology.
- Practical effects and dark lighting evoke classic exorcism atmospheres, though nothing groundbreaking here.
- For fans who appreciate possession flicks with a slightly more introspective lead, but expect few surprises.
