Actor Jacqueline Byers recently revealed that she took up Prey for the Devil, a horror movie experience, as a psychological drama.
Following a global rise in demonic possessions, the film begins with the catholic church reopening its exorcism schools to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. Jacqueline Byers plays the lead role of Sister Ann. She is trained by her professor to perform exorcisms to save herself and others from the determined demonic spirit.
Talking about her character in the film, Byers said, “While Prey for the Devil plays as an intense horror movie experience, I approached it as a psychological drama, specifically the psychology of Ann and what drives her.”
About her character, Byers noted that Ann is a wounded healer, who doesn’t what others to undergo the suffering that he has been through.”Ann needs it to be true that her mother was possessed. Ann enters the school’s exorcism programme under the guise of a traditional nursing capacity. But her ambition has always exceeded those limitations that others try to impose upon her,” she added.
Directed by German filmmaker Daniel Stamm, Prey for the Devil had its theatrical release in October last year and will stream on Lionsgate Play from February 24.
