Prey for the Devil: new trailer arrives ahead of exorcism film’s Halloween release

The Last Exorcism director Daniel Stamm has made a new exorcism film, a project that was once known as The Devil’s Light but is now being released under the title Prey for the Devil. Coming to us from Lionsgate, Gold Circle Entertainment, and Confluence, Prey for the Devil is set to reach theatres just in time for Halloween (the specific release date is October 28th), and with that date just a month away a new trailer for the film has arrived online. Check it out in the embed above!

Scripted by Robert Zappia (Halloween H20), Prey for the Devil has the following synopsis:

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. Although nuns are forbidden to perform exorcisms, a professor recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Thrust onto the spiritual frontline with fellow student Father Dante, 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.

In addition to Candyman‘s Virginia Madsen, who plays a character named Dr. Peters, the film stars Jacqueline Byers (Salvation) as Sister Ann, Colin Salmon (Die Another Day) as the professor Father Quinn, and Christian Navarro (13 Reasons Why) as Father Dante. Nicholas Ralph (All Creatures Great and Small), and Ben Cross (Dark Shadows) are also in the cast. Cross passed away in August of 2020, soon after production on Prey for the Devil wrapped.

The film was produced by Paul Brooks, Todd R. Jones, Earl Richey Jones, and Jessica Malanaphy, with David Brooks, Brad Kessell, Scott Niemeyer, and Michael P. Flannigan serving as executive producers.
