Prey for the devil (2022): Hey what's up guys. Today I'll show you
a supernatural horror film: "Prey for the devil"! Spoilers ahead; watch out and take care!
The movie begins with a little girl named Annie, who is praying to God in her room. She is begging
to be saved, as her mom tries to open the door, but becomes violent and starts banging the door
when she realizes that it's been locked. Annie gets scared by her mom's behavior,
and it only gets worse when her mom breaks into the room, and attacks her. Years later,
we meet Annie, who has now joined the Catholic Church as a nun. She talks to her counsellor about
how she was abused by her mom, and states that it was because her mom was possessed by the devil.
However, Counsellor states that it must have been because her mom was schizophrenic, and suffered
from mental illness. Annie maintains that this is the work of the devil, and her mom had killed
herself to be rid of the possession. Now, a short narrative text informs us about how nuns are not
allowed to perform exorcisms, regardless of the situation. Due to the rising cases of possessions,
the Catholic Church has decided to reopen its exorcism schools, so that young priests
can be taught about the Rite of exorcism. Now, Annie attends a session, where Counsellor
talks about the scientific correlation to cases of possession. Annie doesn't agree with Counsellor's
opinion; but Counsellor says that she has been around long enough to know the difference between
possession and mental disorder. Later, Annie attends to one of her old patients named Oldie,
and then she meets a timid little girl named Timid, who is said to be possessed by a malicious
demon. Counsellor is also there in the room, but maintains that Timid is not possessed, and
she will prove it through science. Annie reassures Timid that Counsellor isn't as scary as she looks;
but Counsellor doesn't appreciate Annie's humour, so she walks out of the room. Now, Annie and Timid
have a bonding session, wherein Timid says that Annie is her favorite person. She also wants
to know more about nougats, but Annie says she doesn't know anything about them. Later at night,
Annie thinks back to some horrible memories, where her mom would harm her while combing her
hair. Suddenly, Annie hears a mysterious sound coming out of her room, and goes to check it out.
However, she is unable to find anyone nearby. The next day, Annie hears someone whispering her
name, and she can also hear a baby crying. so she looks around to see if anyone's there. Annie is
given a jump scare, when Timid suddenly shows up, looking a little scary. Annie wants to know how
Timid got out of her room, but she simply tells Annie what she learned about nougats, including
how they have families. After Annie puts Timid back in her room, she can hear the whispers again;
but then, she gets distracted by the demonic sounds of a woman screaming in Bulgarian.
This turns out to be a recording of a previous possession case, which is being taught in exorcism
class by a senior bald priest named Baldie. He goes on to explain how God is the most powerful
weapon that can be used against a possession case, and how priests must keep their faith while
dealing with such cases. Annie manages to sneak into the class, gets inspired by this lesson, and
starts researching about demonic possession in the Church Library. She also thinks back to how her
mom would say that the voices in her head would tell her that the devil was actually after Annie
the entire time. This led Annie to believe that she is a chosen soldier of God. Now, Annie wants
to learn more about exorcisms; but she notices some gaps in the books she's reading. She goes to
the librarian nun to ask for access to possession records, but is told that nuns are restricted
from accessing these classified files. Later, Baldie complains to a senior nun about
Annie infiltrating his classes; so she tells Annie to stay away from the topic of exorcisms, because
she is a female. Annie rebels by saying she wants to become the first female exorcist in the world,
and then she walks away. Annie tends to Oldie by giving him a sponge bath, but he suddenly starts
humming the same song, that Annie's mom would hum whenever she would get possessed by the devil.
Oldie looks back at Annie and mentions her mom, so she realizes that Oldie has been possessed. Annie
panics, and she tries to break out of the room. but Devil Oldie grabs her from behind, and tries
to kiss her with his snaky tongue. Devil Oldie demands Annie to let him inside her. but luckily,
she knocks him down and saves herself. This incident is brought to the attention of the head
priest, so he discusses Annie's situation with Baldie and Senior Nun. Baldie suggests teaching
Annie how to protect herself from the devil; but Senior Nun is against the idea, because she
wants Annie to be sent back to the convent. Baldie maintains that Annie has a personal
relationship with the devil, which is why it is necessary for her to be able to defend herself.
The head priest agrees with Baldie, so he allows Annie to join his class, but only as an observer.
Baldie is glad to see Annie in his class, and comments on how the times are changing. A charming
priest student named Charm, is also happy to see Annie in his class, because he seems to like her.
It's time for the practical classes to begin, and Baldie takes his students down to a room,
where they are to meet their first subject, Timid. Baldie states that Timid has already turned into
a devil, so he asks for volunteers to perform the exorcism on her. Annie is shocked to see
Timid in this state, so she raises her hand; but Baldie ignores her, and chooses Charm and another
priest to perform the exorcism. Both the priests enter the room, and begin the exorcism process;
but it doesn't seem to work on Timid, who finally reveals her ugly devil face. She is ruthless in
her treatment of the priests, and even deflects Charm by mentioning his little sister to distract
him. Now, Devil Timid turns off the lights, and it causes both the priests to get scared; so
Baldie tells all his other students to begin their prayers. Devil Timid charges at the glass screen,
and looks straight into Annie's eyes. She makes inhuman growls, and flexes some disgusting worms
coming out of her hands, while also demanding Annie to let her in, just like Devil Oldie did.
With no other option, Baldie barges into the room, and tries to subdue Devil Timid.
but she plays around with him, and hides inside her bed. Baldie removes the blanket,
but gets tricked by Devil Timid's illusion, and gets dragged onto the floor. Things get tricky for
the priests as Baldie is temporarily knocked out. but then, Annie enters the room with a Holy Book,
and starts calling out to Timid. Her methods seem to work at first as Timid responds to her; but
then, the devil takes control again, and starts choking Timid with her own hair. Luckily, Baldie
gets back up, allowing Charm and the other priest to prevent Timid from getting choked. Baldie
joins forces with Annie to exorcise the devil, and it seemingly goes away for now. However,
Charm notices a drawing of a pregnant woman next to Timid. Later, as the group celebrates their
exorcism, Charm tells Annie that the drawing was meant to remind him about his little sister.
Annie learns that Charm's sister was assaulted, and became pregnant with a child; but she lost the
baby, which led her to get afflicted by a devil. At night, Annie finds her mom's corpse on a table;
but it suddenly vanishes. after which her mom suddenly appears, and grabs her from behind.
Luckily, this just happens to be a dream, as Annie wakes up in her own bed. However, when Annie meets
Timid in the Church's hospital room, she learns that Timid is still hearing the demonic voices in
her head. Timid carries on by explaining that the devil is showing her some bad dreams, where even
Annie is present. This worries Annie, so she goes to Baldie, and tells him about what Timid said to
her. She is surprised to learn that Timid's Devil is only seeking temporary refuge inside her body;
and the exorcism was not a complete success. Fearing that she might lose Timid forever,
Annie offers to help in completing the exorcism; but Baldie says that this won't be possible,
because exorcists cannot be friends with the victim. Anyway, Annie teams up with
Charm who distracts the librarian nun, so that Annie can sneak into the classified section,
and go through the records of possessed victims. After scrolling through some cases, Annie finds an
interview of a possessed victim, who was released from the Church. She goes through the tape,
and is horrified to see what happened to the victim's body. Annie takes down some notes,
and is able to relate the victim's thoughts and feelings with those of her own mom. She talks to
Counsellor about it, and explains that guilt is the main cause of possession. However, Counsellor
keeps talking about trauma and mental health. Now, the Church starts to restrict access to
Timid, because she is going to be transferred to the Vatican. Annie immediately asks Baldie
to reconsider Timid's situation, and presents her findings from her research. However,
Baldie tells her that she must believe in the word of the righteous, and not go by her own research.
Disappointed and rejected, Annie walks away, but then Charm says there's a way for her to prove
she's right. He suggests that he and Annie should perform an unauthorized exorcism on his sister,
because he knows she's been possessed by the Devil, due to the guilt of losing
her own child. Annie reluctantly agrees to his suggestion, even though she knows that this will
land them both in trouble. At night, they both go to Charm's house, and meet Charm's sister,
who is lying unconscious in her bed. Annie begins the process; but then the sister starts to act up,
and scratches her belly. Charm reassures his sister that she can trust Annie, so she invites
her to perform the exorcism. However, the devil takes over the sister, and the fan starts to
speed up. The devil taunts Annie by saying he knows about Annie having an unwanted child at
the age of 15, without even knowing the father. Suddenly, the sister's belly expands into a womb,
where Annie can see the devil's spawn pressing its hand against the womb. she starts to suffer
convulsions in her body; so Annie tries her best to console her. Charm begins with the exorcism
chants, and then Annie finally convinces her to forgive herself. Her tactics seemingly work,
as the devil retreats from the sister, and her womb turns back into a belly. Everyone
is relieved to have finally saved her, and then Annie has a word with Charm. She mentions what
the devil told her about the baby she had when she was a child. It turns out that Annie had
gotten pregnant in a foster home, but had to abandon her baby after giving birth. Now, Annie
feels guilty for abandoning her baby, because she understands the value of life. Later at church,
Annie tries combing her hair, but spots a strand of hair that she pulls out of her eye,
while her mom's ghost watches on from behind. Things get worse when Annie is summoned by
Baldie and the head priest. there, she learns that Charm's sister had committed suicide
right after she had left, because the devil had simply retreated during the exorcism process.
Annie is heartbroken from guilt; so she apologizes to Charm, and willingly steps back from her dreams
of becoming a female exorcist. Now, Annie meets Counsellor, who tells her that she needs to deal
with her guilt and trauma by reading a self-help book. Counsellor also mentions that Timid has been
released, and is back with her mother, which gives Annie joy. However, she soon bumps into Charm,
who tells her that Timid has become a devil again, and has killed 2 priests along with the medical
crew who tried to subdue her. Now, Charm shows Annie a crucifix that Devil Timid gave to him,
and she recognizes it as the same crucifix that she had left on the baby she had abandoned.
Realizing that Timid is her own daughter, Annie figures that the devil is using Timid as a
way to get inside her. She decides to break into the sealed-off section of the academy,
where Timid is being kept. She joins Charm as they enter the holding cells, where some priests
are already performing an exorcism on Timid. The priests tell Annie and Charm to walk away,
but then Devil Timid wakes up and calls out to Annie. She suddenly turns off the lights,
and opens up her cell door. after which, she kills the other priests one after the other.
Only Charm and Annie are left alive, and they finally come face to face with Devil Timid. Annie
is taunted when the devil says that Annie's mom had killed herself to save Annie from possession.
Devil Timid also mentions that Annie could never be responsible for another life, which was why
she abandoned Timid in the first place. Not being able to take any further torture, Annie
invites Timid to hug her; but this only allows the devil to possess her instead. Charm takes Timid,
and sends her to a hiding spot, while Annie completes her demonic transformation. Charm tries
his best to stop the devil, but he is knocked away with ease. Now, Devil Annie finds Timid,
and starts choking her; but then, she can hear the whispers again. They turn out to be Annie's mom,
who was always trying her best to protect Annie from the devil. Annie regains control of her body,
and places a crucifix on her forehead in an extremely painful sequence. She dives into a pool
of holy tap water, and finally defeats the devil; after which, she comes back to the surface.
Charm rescues Annie, and takes her to the hospital immediately. Once she's better,
Annie finally meets Timid as her daughter, and they hug each other in an emotional scene. After
Timid leaves with her adopted mother, Annie meets Baldie and the head priest,
who reward her for her actions with a fellowship in exorcism at the Vatican. Later, Baldie tells
Annie that she must be careful, because now that she knows the devil, the devil also knows her. As
Annie travels in a cab, she looks out the window, and spots a devil looking at her. Suddenly,
she hears manly whispers, and finds her cab driver sitting next to her, as he is also a
devil. The movie ends with Annie taking out her crucifix, so that she can fight both devils.
