Warning: Spoilers
I saw Prey for the Devil, starring Jacqueline Byers-Bad Samaritan, Roadies_tv; Colin Salmon-Nobody, Punisher:War Zone; Virginia Madsen-The Haunting in Connecticut, Candyman and introducing Posy Taylor-this is her first movie.

This is a generic horror movie about exorcism-not much new here. Not bad, but not great either, just pretty standard. Jacqueline plays a sister/nun that is interested in becoming a fully licensed exorcist but the Catholic church frowns on women being in their men's only club-I guess they think only men know how to throw water on a demon and read passages out of the bible. Jacqueline tells Colin-a teacher/Father-about her past experiences with her own mother being possessed and he agrees to let her study with his class, after getting permission from the Cardinal, of course, who is played by Ben Cross in his last movie role-he died of cancer in 2020. Virginia is the church's psychiatrist that counsels Jacqueline about her childhood traumas and Posy plays a young girl that gets possessed. Jacqueline thinks it's the same demon in Posy that went after her mother years earlier.

It's rated PG-13 for disturbing violent content, terror and language and has a running time of 1 hour & 33 minutes.

Like I said, it's pretty standard fare and I wouldn't buy it on DVD. It would be alright, as a rental if you like these types of movies.
