La Luz Del Diablo

If you're possessed by evil spirits you might go, to a place where exorcists expunge your foe, with the power of the cross, they will make you turn and toss, until the beast is forced to flee your scarred torso (or you die). Ann works in this place and she's a nun, you have to say, it doesn't look too much like fun, but her faith is firm and strong, although she has her own demon, the events of her past life, can't be undone.

Far from original and not particularly rewarding although the performances are fine and the metaphors make sense but I'm not sure in this day and age certain institutions have that much relevance anymore, if indeed they ever did!

After reading quite a lot of negative reviews I didn't have too high expectations for Prey For The Devil, but I'm glad I gave it a chance because it turned out to be much better than those bad reviews made it sound like. Possession movies, there are just a lot of bad ones and only a few really good ones. This one is certainly worth watching if you like this genre. The possession scenes were well made, quite creepy sometimes and that's what makes these movies stand out from the rest. The story itself is obviously déjà vu so no surprise here but it's all well done. As for the acting it wasn't bad at all. Glad I watched Prey For The Devil, again a proof I shouldn't pay too much attention to very negative reviews as there are just a lot of people that are never satisfied.

Well religious stuff seduce me in movies... i've seen many good ones in the past but last years every single movie i picked was literally empty.. maybe it's my fault.. i 've seen everything about this topic falling angels,demons, possessed kids,demons, curses. I don't know... i am sicked of that storyline, a possessed girl climbing the walls, harming herself, swearing the priest or exposing his past...every time i give a it a change and i say to my self.. it might be something new, with creepy atmosphere and plot twist.. but it's the same stuff.. maybe i should give it a break.. but i have to say at least this one had descent SGI and good acting.. i 've seen some similar movies that were completely trash...

Just finished watching a screener as I'm interviewing some the cast and thought this was a solid, well-directed and performed movie. When I watch horror films at home, the scares rarely get me but this one still managed to. Possession/exorcism films are nothing new, they've been around for decades but Prey For The Devil had some great surprises and twists to keep the story moving. Jacqueline Byers gives an incredibly vulnerable performance, with Posy Taylor also giving a great performance, sweet at times and disturbing at others.

Christian Navarro was a very sympathetic leading man and it was cool to see him in a role like and moving on from teen roles. Colin Salmon and Virginia Madsen both gave solid performances as well. Wish they had a bit more to do in this one besides giving exposition or being opposing voices of reason, but happy to see them in another horror project.

Overall I thought it was pretty scary, well executed and enjoyable.

Now, I wasn't really harboring much of any high hopes or expectations for this 2022 horror movie titled "Prey for the Devil", as exorcism movies tend to be dubious movies. But since I hadn't already seen the movie, and had the chance to do so, of course I opted to sit down and watch it.

Writers Robert Zappia, Earl Richey Jones and Todd R. Jones actually put together a rather enjoyable storyline and script here for director Daniel Stamm to bring to life on the screen. Sure, there were some generic contents to the storyline, but the writers also managed to put in new and interesting aspects to spruce up the storyline. I have to be honest and say that I was not only entertained by "Prey for the Devil", but I was also pleasantly surprised with how enjoyable it was.

The storyline is pretty straight forward, as exorcism movies tend to be following the same formula, but director Daniel Stamm managed to add a twist to the movie that made it all the more enjoyable.

"Prey for the Devil" has a good cast ensemble, with a great leading performance by actress Jacqueline Byers. The movie also have the likes of Colin Salmon, Virginia Madsen and the late Ben Cross on the cast list. I was really surprised to see Ben Cross in this movie, as he had passed away in 2020, so this was apparently his last movie performance.

Visually then "Prey for the Devil" was good, and it really added to the atmosphere of the movie that the special effects were so realistic and good to look at. These special effects definitely made it all the more of a convincing exorcism movie. Sure, there are an abundance of jump scares in the movie, almost to the point of where it was becoming a nuissance.

If you enjoy exorcism movies, then you definitely should check out "Prey for the Devil".

My rating of "Prey for the Devil" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
