Prey for the Devil is a 2022 American supernatural horror film centered on a nun who trains as an exorcist under the Roman Catholic Church to confront demonic possession. Directed by Daniel Stamm and produced by Lionsgate, the film features a cast that includes Jacqueline Byers, Colin Salmon, Christian Navarro, Lisa Palfrey, Nicholas Ralph, Virginia Madsen, and Ben Cross. Lionsgate released the film in theaters across the United States and Canada on October 28, 2022. Despite grossing $44.7 million worldwide, it received largely negative reviews from critics.

In response to a surge in demonic possessions worldwide, the Catholic Church reopens exorcism schools to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. Despite a longstanding rule that forbids nuns from performing exorcisms, Father Quinn recognizes Sister Ann’s unique gifts, particularly her deep empathy for those afflicted by possession. He defies convention and begins training her. Partnered with fellow student Father Dante, Ann becomes embroiled in a fight to save a young girl, Natalie, who she believes is possessed by the same demon that tormented her mentally unstable mother years earlier.

As Ann attends exorcism classes, she faces resistance from the staff and ridicule from some priests. Disturbing events plague her, including haunting visions, suppressed memories, and an unsettling encounter with a possessed elderly patient who traps her in his room. Undeterred, Ann dives deeper into her training, uncovering hidden archives with Dante’s help. These records reveal "terminal cases" expected to die during possession and the mysterious story of a woman who was released from the institute.

Ann successfully exorcises Dante’s sister but is devastated to learn the woman took her own life shortly after. Overwhelmed with guilt, Ann resolves to return to her convent. Before she can leave, Dante informs her that Natalie, who had briefly recovered, has relapsed and is now classified as a "terminal case," destined to be sent to the Vatican. Determined to help, Ann sneaks back into the school with Dante to perform an unauthorized exorcism.

During the ritual, Ann discovers a shocking truth—Natalie is her biological daughter, whom she had given up for adoption as a teenager. The abandonment had left Natalie vulnerable to demonic possession. Summoning extraordinary strength, Ann confronts the demon, which ultimately leaves Natalie and possesses Ann instead. In a climactic struggle, Ann submerges herself in a pool of holy water and uses her faith and resolve to expel the demon from her own body.

Ann’s victory earns her an academic fellowship to the Vatican. However, as she rides in a cab, she realizes the driver is the elderly man who previously harassed her under demonic influence. The vehicle halts, and Ann spots a sinister woman—the same individual released from the institute—watching her from the street. Clutching her crucifix, Ann braces herself as the driver lunges at her, revealing that her battle against evil is far from over.
