‘Prey for the Devil’ to start streaming on Lionsgate Play from Feb 24

Mumbai, Feb 20 (PTI) Hollywood thriller movie “Prey for the Devil” will premiere on streaming platform Lionsgate Play on February 24.

Starring Jacqueline Byers and Christian Navarro, the film is directed by Daniel Stamm.

The story is set at a time when there is a rise in demonic possessions across the globe. It focuses on a young nun’s journey into her past and how she was hounded by spirits since she was a child.

Actors Colin Salmon, Lisa Palfrey, Nicholas Ralph and Ben Cross round out the cast.

Navarro, best known for starring in popular series “13 Reasons Why”, said as a brother to three younger sisters he feels attracted towards stories headlined by women.

“I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of a few projects with strong female leads. ‘Prey for the Devil’ was the first time I had seen this genre accessed this way, with a woman as the lead, as an exorcist taking the helm of the ship. I was very attracted to that. I have three younger sisters and am always interested in telling those kinds of stories,” the actor said in a statement.

The story is written by Earl Richey Jones and Todd R Jones with screenplay by Robert Zappia.
