Lionsgate’s supernatural thriller Prey for the Devil is heading to theaters on October 28, 2022, just in time for Halloween.
Bloody Disgusting has a look at several new images from Prey for the Devil today, descending into the mouth of Hell and previewing a battle between a young nun and the Devil.
In Prey for the Devil, which sounds like a new kind of possession horror film…
“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 (Jacqueline Byers).
“Although nuns are forbidden to perform exorcisms, a professor (Colin Salmon; Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator, Nobody) recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Thrust onto the spiritual frontline with fellow student Father Dante (Christian Navarro; “13 Reasons Why”), 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), and soon realizes the Devil has her right where he wants her….and it wants in.”
Directed by The Last Exorcism‘s Daniel Stamm and written by Halloween H20: 20 Years Later‘s Robert Zappia, the film also features Virginia Madsen, star of the original Candyman, alongside Lisa Palfrey, Nicholas Ralph, and Ben Cross.
The film was produced by Paul Brooks (Pitch Perfect franchise, The Haunting in Connecticut, White Noise), Jessica Malanaphy, Todd Jones and Earl Richey Jones. Executive Producers are Scott Niemeyer, David Brooks and Brad Kessell.
Lionsgate and Gold Circle Entertainment present a Lionsgate production, a Confluence production.
