Slow paced with a couple jump scares, probably a few shy from being too many but most still genuinely startled me. It might be good to reset expectations so I could be as pleasantly surprised the next time a movie like Smile comes along. In the end, Prey for the Devil is almost a complete waste of time. A couple come out each year and they're usually useless. I also think I might be done with exorcism horror flicks. I watched these supposedly scary scenes and felt absolutely nothing. If I were to rate the scariness, it's a two out of ten. I couldn't keep track of how many times I thought to myself, "I DON'T CARE." Emotional moments, I don't care. This movie does a horrendous job at making you care. It takes the second route, the one where the movie has nothing of value. That's not the case with Prey for the Devil. One is that the movie is actively bad, laughable, filled with things to rip on. There are two different routes to me giving a movie such a low score. Right back to where the expectation is the vast majority of horror flicks will be terrible. My rating of "Prey for the Devil" lands on a seven out of ten stars.Īfter the huge surprise of the awesome horror movie Smile, I'm brought right back down to earth with Prey for the Devil. If you enjoy exorcism movies, then you definitely should check out "Prey for the Devil". Sure, there are an abundance of jump scares in the movie, almost to the point of where it was becoming a nuissance. These special effects definitely made it all the more of a convincing exorcism movie. 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. 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. The movie also have the likes of Colin Salmon, Virginia Madsen and the late Ben Cross on the cast list. "Prey for the Devil" has a good cast ensemble, with a great leading performance by actress Jacqueline Byers. 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. 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. 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. Jones actually put together a rather enjoyable storyline and script here for director Daniel Stamm to bring to life on the screen. Writers Robert Zappia, Earl Richey Jones and Todd R. 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. Excellent movie, a movie to measure, not big or small, tense scenes, action to measure, well characterized environment, an immersion in the past, good choreography of the battles, good special effects, a film grade 9.0, not 10, because I felt at the end an extra scene showing other Yautjas, Excellent movie, a movie to measure, not big or small, tense scenes, action to measure, well characterized environment, an immersion in the past, good choreography of the battles, good special effects, a film grade 9.0, not 10, because I felt at the end an extra scene showing other Yautjas, looking for the ship and maybe, a mention of a new encounter 40 years from now when Naru has an elderly and tribe leader, showing the saga of a grandson, who can meet this threat again in that region or another, perhaps another scene, approaching the Yautjas looking for the ship and hovering a map of the Earth with new places and eras to be explored, Ex: "African" tribe, " Medieval Period", " First world war" an infinity of themes that can be created.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.
