Premiere in cinemas: ‘The light of the devil’, when the devil does not seize one, but several bodies

Exorcism stories are found almost like bread in a bakery. But how do you eliminate a demon that possesses multiple people and spreads like an epidemic? The answers are in devil’s light (Prey for the Devil), where a nun, played by Jacqueline Byers, learns to purge demons, or rather a single demon that has possessed several people.

The supernatural horror movie is directed by Daniel Stamm. The German filmmaker is best known for directing The last Exorcism Y 13 sinsas well as some episodes of television series such as fear the walking dead and the television series scream. The plot follows Sister Ann, who is set to perform an exorcism and discovers that the demonic force has a connection to her past.

devil’s light opens just in time for Halloween. So horror fans, check out all the details below, including the release date, trailer, cast, and everything else known so far about the movie opening in Ecuador.

The film was scheduled for a January 2021 release, but was pushed back to February 2022, before being shifted again. In the first official trailer, released in July 2022, the film is presented as an exorcism story at its core. However, it is not like those classic tales like The Exorcist (which is one of the best of the genre) or Emily Rose’s exorcism. In contrast, Devil’s Prey does not focus on a single demonic possession or victim, but on numerous people who are possessed by a demonic force.

The Lionsgate trailer scares the crap out as it introduces a team of priests and a nun at St. Michael the Archangel’s School of Exorcism (who knew there were schools for that), who are preparing to fight the demon that jumps from body to body. other. The clip also introduces key characters like Sister Ann, Father Quinn, and Father Dante. From the trailer, we also learn how Sister Ann is the main target of the demon.

A second trailer for the film was released in September. Apart from the terrifying supernatural elements, this horror movie also shows a very intriguing and psychologically challenging story. It seems plausible to expect this film to deviate from the typical exorcism story and be more of a thriller that just paranormal. With all the creepy moments in the trailers, devil’s light Devil promises to be the perfect addition to your Halloween list for an epic fest of horror.

Cast

Student Jacqueline Byers leads the cast of devil’s light like Sister Ann. The cast of the horror film also includes Colin Salmon (Arrow), Christian Navarro (3 Reasons Why), Lisa Palfrey (Sex Education)Nicholas Ralph (All Creatures Great and Small) and Virginia Madsen (Designated Survivor).

In response to the global increase in demonic possession, the Catholic Church reopens exorcism schools to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. On this spiritual battlefield, an unlikely warrior emerges: a young nun. Although nuns are prohibited from performing exorcisms, a teacher (Colin Salmon) recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Pushed to the spiritual front with her fellow student, Father Dante (Christian Navarro), 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 a family member). years ago), and soon realizes that the devil has her right where he wants her… and he wants in.

The demonic story movie also features the star of chariots of fire (Chariots of Fire), Ben Cross, in his last film role, filmed before his death -due to cancer- in 2020. The film is dedicated to his memory. Cross gets into the shoes of Cardinal Matthews.

As can be seen from the trailer, devil’s light it is mainly about exorcism. But it is also about a young nun’s journey into her past. Since she was a child, she has been haunted by this spirit, which now moves from body to body, trying to finally reach her and make her let it in. Ann recognizes this spirit as the same one that consumed her mother. Her faith in the divine is the only thing that has protected her all along. But now, the demon spirit is wreaking havoc on the rest of the world and she has to stop it.

Ann’s main challenge is that she has no experience in exorcism, but she trains so that she can discover and learn more about herself, so she can save herself and other innocent people. With another priest and student, Sister Ann finds herself embroiled in a battle between the holy and the unholy, acting as the final line between the two. But can she stop this force from taking control?

The production of devil’s light it took place in Sofia, Bulgaria, in the summer of 2020. Usually, I would expect stories like these, especially about exorcism, to take place in an earlier period. But the tape does not follow that trend. Despite no mention of any particular timeline, it’s clear from the trailer that the story is more or less set in the present day.

devil’s light opens this Thursday, October 27 in movie theaters in Ecuador.
