Prey For The Devil

violence

Flashback scenes show a woman attacking her terrified young daughter and repeatedly banging her own head against a door. Another person defines these events as abuse, but it is revealed that the woman was possessed.

threat and horror

There are strong, sustained horror scenes throughout, including ‘jump scare’ moments. People are attacked by others under the influence of demonic possession, and possessed people are shown skittering up walls, stretching their mouths or tongues to unnatural proportions, or contorting their bodies, creating gruesome ‘crunch’ noises. Maggot-ridden wounds appear spontaneously on a little girl’s hands. A person removes their prosthetic nose and lip to reveal extreme facial injuries resulting from demonically-influenced self-harm. A woman pulls a long hair out of her own eyeball in close up. We also see a dead body lying in a pool of blood in the aftermath of an off-screen suicide.

flashing/flickering lights

additional issues: There are moderate references to sexual violence, miscarriage, and mental illness. Bad language includes ‘bitch’ and ‘shit’.
