The new genre retrospective book from author Adrian Roe, Seasonal Screams: A History of Holiday Horror will release just in time for Halloween (literally) on October 31, 2024.

The book features exclusive cover artwork by Graham Humphreys, which you’ll find below.

Seasonal Screams: A History of Holiday Horror will take you on a terrifying journey through your favorite seasons, with contributors and interviewees including Neil Marshall, Ellie Cornell, Jeff Lieberman, Linnea Quigley, Daniel Stamm, Mellissa Anderson and more.

The press release previews, “Whether it’s the dry autumnal leaves that shatter under your feet with every step during Halloween, or the cold crisp snow turning the world white over Christmas, there has always been a special relationship with film and the changing seasons. Or more specifically, with the public holidays that are celebrated during these traditional and familiar dates marked by default on our calendars. To some, these moments represent something far more profound,...

For the majority of the film industry’s existence, movie ratings were more of a vague suggestion rather than a strict guideline. Before films like Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom and Gremlins sparked a parental guidance revolution in the mid 80s, the difference between G and PG could often be something as extreme as gory decapitations or even explicit sex scenes.

And while it’s commonly accepted that the advent of the PG-13 rating resulted in studios attempting to pander to the lowest common denominator (with producers insisting that their box office revenue not be handicapped by an R rating while also not wanting to be associated with “kid” movies), I’d argue that limitations aren’t always a bad thing.

And with Blumhouse’s upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s adaptation reminding audiences that you don’t really need traditional blood and guts to be scary, we...

Exclusive: Venezuelan author Ariana Godoy’s Spanish-language webnovel Sigue Mi Voz is being adapted into a feature film.

Wattpad Webtoon Studios and Iberian producers Zeta Studios and Beta Fiction Spain have teamed to create the movie, which is based on the Wattpad novel of the same name that currently has more than 28 million reads on the platform.

Mumbai, Feb 22 (Ians) Actress Jacqueline Byers has shared why 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 in order to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. The main character of Sister Ann will be played by Jacqueline Byers.

As the holy and the unholy take on a battle of wits, Ann is taken in by a professor that trains her in performing exorcisms to save herself and others from the determined demonic spirit.

Talking about her character in the movie, Jacqueline 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.”

Byers goes on to call Ann a “wounded healer, who has experienced so...

New Delhi, Feb 20 (Ians) Actors Jacqueline Byers and Christian Navarro’s upcoming horror movie ‘Prey for the Devil’ is set to release on February 24, exclusively on Lionsgate Play.

The quality of the narrative is enhanced by the stellar onscreen performances from a talented cast comprising Jacqueline Byers, Colin Salmon, Christian Navarro, Lisa Palfrey, Nicholas Ralph and Ben Cross.

The much-anticipated thriller is set to release in India exclusively on Lionsgate Play on February 24.

Sharing his thoughts about the film, director Daniel Stamm said: “Ann is on a journey that comes with an intriguing backstory. I wanted to really ground the movie in her point of view… It’s a non-stop thriller and psychological drama. What really hooked me about the character was that she loved her mother so much.

“Ann needed her to be possessed and not abusive, she had to put her mom’s disturbing behaviour on demonic possession,...

Bowfinger Int’l Pictures, run by Spanish actor-director Santiago Segura and producing partner María Luisa Gutiérrez, and Beta Fiction Spain (Bfs), the Spanish affiliate of Germany’s Beta Film, have teamed up to produce “Infiltrada” (“Infiltrated”) the true story of a young Spanish policewoman who infiltrated the Basque separatist group, Eta.

To be directed by Bilbao-based helmer Arantxa Echevarría, the feature film based on true events follows the 20-year old policewoman, known only by her alias Aranzazu Berradre Marín, who managed to embed herself with members of the terrorist group, even sharing living quarters with them.

Eventually, she helped lead to the dismantling of the infamous organization that used terrorist tactics in its campaign for an independent Basque state.

Based on extensive research that included the collaboration of journalists and interviews with people who were directly involved in the operation, “Infiltrada” will depict not only the events but will also...

The Roman Catholic Church combats a global rise in demonic possessions by reopening schools to train priests to perform exorcisms.

Thrust onto the spiritual frontline, she soon finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl who’s possessed by the same demon that tormented her own mother years earlier.

Am I the only one who was under the impression that the subgenre of possession horror films had died off a long time ago by now? Sadly, that’s not the case as it seems, as we now have a brand new one in the form of Prey for the Devil, directed by Daniel Stamm and for some reason,...

Happy Halloween, fellow box office aficionados. Famously, Halloween weekend has not been a huge one for the movie business, but a horror movie or two can slip in and make some solid dough. This past weekend, Lionsgate tried to slip the exorcism flick "Prey for the Devil" through the cracks as the spooky season offering. It didn't exactly pan out, as Warner Bros.' superhero movie "Black Adam" easily topped the charts again in its second weekend. Though, even that movie's earnings up to this point leaves room for discussion. Let's dig into the numbers, shall we?

"Black Adam" reigned supreme in the #1 spot for the second week in a row domestically, taking in 27.7 million, according to Box Office Mojo. That represents a pretty steep 58.7 drop from week-to-week, which is a whole lot more than Warner Bros. would have liked for the long-awaited Dwayne Johnson DC Comics adaptation. It was rather expensive,...

‘Black Adam’ is already the 12th biggest global hit of 2022, after just two weekends of play.

After a 114 million overall box office last weekend, the first since July to hit the nine digits, the numbers plunged back down again to a weak 65.8 million pre-Halloween weekend. The weekends leading up to or including October 31st are often among the year’s lowest grossing, so this isn’t such a buzzkill, but it’s still far below the pre-pandemic norms, with no late October weekend grossing this little since the 1990s. Next weekend looks to be even worse, and though Black Panther: Wakanda Forever will bring the numbers back up the following weekend and possibly give us just the year’s fourth 200+ million total weekend box office, the current state of the yo-yoing box office is still far from ideal.

Last week’s champ Black Adam reigned once again this weekend, grossing 27.7 million and making up 42 of the total box office. The ten day cume comes to 111 million,...

If you go to Google and enter the search phrase “movies about exorcism,” it comes back with a list of 42 films, including the latest, Prey for the Devil. Director Daniel Stamm was very much aware of all the other exorcism-themed films that came before his, so he told us he focused on adding other elements that would make “Prey for the Devil” stand out as being different from the rest.

With the Halloween season nearing its end, we are getting one last genre theater experience with Daniel Stamm’s second exorcism outing, Prey For the Devil. With his last addition, The Last Exorcism doing big at the box office, Lionsgate is hoping for a similar return with Prey For the Devil. I was lucky enough to sit down with director Daniel Stamm and stars Jacqueline Byers and Christian Navarro to talk about the film and the exorcism sub-genre as a whole.

Prey For the Devil has the following synopsis:

In response to a global rise in demonic possessions, the Catholic Church reopens exorcism schools to train priests in the Rite of Exorcism. On this spiritual battlefield, an unlikely warrior rises: a young nun, Sister Ann (Jacqueline Byers). Although nuns are forbidden to perform exorcisms, a professor (Colin Salmon) recognizes Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her. Thrust onto...

New Line/DC’s Black Adam ends its first week with 83.4M, which is slightly ahead of what Dwayne Johnson’s Fast & Furious spinoff Hobbs & Shaw did in its first week at 83.1M. That’s impressive considering that this is a deeper universe DC character, and the other was connected to a long-established franchise, not to mention it debuted in the summer. Hobbs & Shaw ended its domestic run at 173.9M. The pic’s second weekend was 36.5M, and currently Black Adam is expected to come in lighter at 27M-30M in weekend two. The anti-hero’s Thursday gross was 3.1M, -8 from Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Lionsgate has the sole, new wide release this weekend in the PG-13 horror film, Prey for the Devil, which isn’t expected to do much in the high single digits at 2,980 locations. Lionsgate typically launches a genre title around Halloween, i.e. their Boo! A...

‘Triangle Of Sadness’ opens in 126 sites, through Lionsgate on behalf of Curzon.

A genre clash heads up the UK-Ireland box office this weekend, as Universal romantic comedy Bros opens against Disney horror Barbarian.

Opening in 499 cinemas, Bros is directed by Nicholas Stoller, who co-wrote the script with lead actor Billy Eichner. Eichner stars alongside Luke Macfarlane in a story about two men with commitment problems who attempt a relationship.

Bros debuted as a Special Presentation at Toronto in September, going on to play festivals including Zurich, Hamburg and the BFI London Film Festival. It was released in the US and...

Plot: Demonic possessions are rising, so the Catholic Church has put exorcist training courses on the fast track. But Sister Ann, a nun with a personal history of it, is forbidden to train until that personal history comes back in a dangerous way.

Review:The exorcist sub-genre has always lived in the immense shadow of 1973’s The Exorcist. Like Jaws for shark movies, exorcism is culturally linked to one main entry and has set the bar high on quality and execution. It’s hard not to compare Prey for the Devil to Friedkin’s classic in some way. And though director Daniel Stamm plays within a well-worn toy chest, he still delivers a fun popcorn experience. It may lean more toward the pop aesthetic James Wan ushered in, in terms of jump scares than deep terror, but it’s still a fun time if you go in knowing it’s that type of flick.

Twelve years ago director Daniel Stamm was considered in some quarters as having revivified a subgenre with “The Last Exorcism.” That sleeper hit that was no classic, but it took itself seriously in the right ways, as put across by a good cast including the estimable (and still underused) Ashley Bell. Since 2014’s less successful “13 Sins,” he’s been occupied with episodic TV work. Unsurprisingly, his first feature in eight years marks a return to the general terrain that worked for him before.

“Prey for the Devil” won’t likely spur enthusiasm equal to Stamm’s breakout film, despite the relative novelty value of being built around a female exorcist — something not so unprecedented (at least onscreen) as billed, last year’s Veracruz-set “The Old Ways” being just one other example. Still, even if it falls short of being particularly memorable or scary, this is a decently entertaining possession potboiler.

A tale as old as time; a Catholic church representative must battle their inner demons to save the soul of a possessed child. Prey for the Devil attempts to retell this tired story with the gimmick of an aspiring female exorcist but never manages to pull together a narrative cohesive or scary enough to rise above a patchwork of familiar possession horror tropes.

It’s 2018. Demonic possession cases have become so prevalent that the Catholic Church has created schools with the sole purpose of teaching priests the Rite of Exorcism while nuns act as bedside nurses to the possessed. Sister Ann (Jacqueline Byers) finds herself drawn to the role of exorcist, even sneaking into exclusive male classes taught by Father Quinn (Colin Salmon), to the chagrin of her superior. Her persistent pursuit of exorcism studies and personal approach to nursing eventually puts her on the frontline of the battle to...

In the history of occult horror, few films have achieved lasting status, but 2010’s The Last Exorcism was one of them, marking out director Daniel Stamm as one to watch. This film, also known as The Devil’s Light, sees him return to the subject, and although the result isn’t likely to have the same impact, there’s still a lot to admire about this stylish piece of work.

From the outset, it has something of the cool visual flair of a Seventies thriller, though its heroine, Annie (Jacqueline Byers), is a thoroughly modern woman. She is also a nun, and if those two things seem to be at odds, well, that’s partly what makes it interesting. We learn early on that Annie’s mother was schizophrenic but also seems to have been possessed, and that Annie suffered violent abuse in childhood as a result. Her experiences have left her keen to develop.

After the box office lifted up past 100 million last weekend for the first time since July, propelled by the latest superhero saga Black Adam, it is set to fall back down below the nine-digit line once again this weekend with no major titles opening to keep it afloat. It should still be a “good” weekend relative to the dry spell from mid-August through mid-October which saw seven straight weekends below 65 million, but the numbers may stoop that low again next weekend. Thankfully,Black Panther: Wakanda Forever comes the weekend after and will boast some of the biggest, if not the biggest, opening numbers of the year, but the rocky up-and-down box office of the post-Covid era continues to persist.

The weekend’s biggest release is Lionsgate’s Prey for the Devil, the latest in a busy season of horror films leading up to Halloween which falls on Monday. The film...

“Black Adam” is expected to retain its box office crown over the weekend — not that there’s much competition standing in its way.

With only one new nationwide release, Lionsgate’s supernatural thriller “Prey for the Devil,” the Dwayne Johnson comic book adventure “Black Adam” has plenty of space to repeat the No. 1 spot.

After opening to 67 million, “Black Adam” is projected to add 28 to 31 million in its second weekend in theaters, should ticket sales withstand a similar decline to “Shazam” and other standalone superhero origin stories. So far, the movie has earned 71 million domestically and 75.9 million internationally.

“Prey for the Devil” is hoping to take advantage of Halloween when the PG-13 horror movie lands in 2,900 North American locations. It’s expected to debut to 7 million to 8 million, a decent start given its low budget.

Plus, it’s been a killer market for horror. Except for “Halloween Ends,” which enjoyed...

It seems like the box office is slowly rebounding after a couple slower months, but this weekend, “Black Adam” won’t have much in terms of competition for the top spot, so it will score an easy second weekend at #1 probably with around 28 to 30 million or a little more. Read on for Gold Derby’s box office preview.

That doesn’t mean that there aren’t any new movies in wide release. In fact, there’s just one, and that’s Lionsgate’s much-delayed and name-changed horror flick “Prey for the Devil,” an exorcism horror drama directed by Daniel Stamm (“The Last Exorcism”). It stars Jacqueline Byers (“Salvation”) as Sister Ann, a rare female exorcist, who has to deal with a few cases of demonic possession. It also stars Virginia Madsen and Colin Salmon, both of whom have quite a bit of genre experience.

Stamm already knows how well exorcism movies do with moviegoers,...

Prey For The Devil director Daniel Stamm reveals to CineMovie that in response to the increasing amount of possessions in the present day, the Catholic Church modernized its methods for treating possessions and performing exorcisms by bringing in psychologists and establishing an exorcism school that excludes women. The filmmaker also says the writer based the story on real accounts as told by a Catholic priest who performs exorcisms.

It turns out that Daniel Stamm’s 2010 film The Last Exorcism wasn’t the last after all. Twelve years after the release of the movie that put the German director on the horror map, he is returning to the subgenre for another possession movie. But in some ways, the two films couldn’t be more different. While The Last Exorcism played heavily on the ambiguity of whether the central character was afflicted or faking it, Prey for the Devil cuts right to the chase.

“I love that because in most movies, you have to do the half an hour of doubt, and everybody is sitting there going, ’No, we know we’re in an exorcism movie. It’s probably a demon.’” laughs Stamm. Spoilers: it’s a demon. We’re chatting about what brought him back to the genre, and he explains it comes with expectations which are a blessing and a curse.

Creeping its way into cinemas this Halloween is the upcoming horror film Prey For The Devil.

Starring Jacqueline Byers, Colin Salmon, Christian Navarro, Lisa Palfrey, Nicholas Ralph, with Ben Cross, and Virginia Madsen, check out the spooky second trailer below.

Heading into Lionsgate’s CinemaCon presentation Thursday afternoon, the studio’s Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake was trying to figure out what he wanted to say to the room of exhibitors.

He regaled those at the Caesars Palace Colosseum with a story about how he met up with Cineworld and Regal boss Mooky Greidinger at the confab, when he challenged Drake to distinguish how his studio stands out among the rest.

“I smiled when he said it,” said Drake, then underscoring, “Lionsgate is different. We’re different because we’re the underdog who has to punch above our weight. We have to discover what is new every day. We have to find what’s next. We can compete completely on authentic original storytelling.”

“That’s what launches meaningful, long-lasting brands in the discovery of visionary artists,” Drake said.

By far the biggest treat in the studio’s CinemaCon reel...

At some point over the last ten or fifteen years there was a huge commercial boom in possession movies. It felt like suddenly every horror with even the tiniest whiff of supernatural about it was trying to be the new Exorcist, squashing watered-down religious chicanery into everything from cheap found-footage moulds to studio level haunted house movies. For the most part, they were white and western as ever, and very few came even close to scratching the surface of what Williams Friedkin and Blatty managed several decades earlier with their seminal Best Picture nominee.

The Old Ways is ironically, a new breed, however. A very different type of possession movie that comes a helluva lot closer to what The Exorcist got so fundamentally right all those years ago. It is, of course, a horror movie through-and-through, with nasty jumps and plenty of gnarly, go-for-broke bumps to boot. But Christopher Alender...

Exclusive: Actress Jacqueline Byers has landed the lead role in the Lionsgate and Gold Circle thriller The Devil’s Light, which will be directed by The Last Exorcism helmer Daniel Stamm. Oscar nominee Virginia Madsen co-stars along with Ben Cross, Colin Salmon, Christian Navarro, and Nicholas Ralph (All Creatures Great and Small).

Robert Zappia wrote the script from a story by himself, Earl Richey Jones, and Todd Jones. It follows Sister Ann (Byers), who devoutly believes performing exorcisms is her calling and studies at a school to master the ritual, confronts a demonic force that infests her school and has mysterious ties to her past.

Paul Brooks, Jessica Malanaphy, Todd Jones, and Earl Richey Jones are producing the film, which is expected to begin production later this year.

Ahead of the International premiere of Uncanny Annie at Arrow Video FrightFest Halloween 2019, director Paul Davis reflects on working for Blumhouse, bemoans attitudes to British genre film funding and reveals the movies that inspire him the most…

Welcome back to FrightFest. It’s been a while. Excited?

Very excited. This is very much a homecoming for me having spent the best part of two-years now making movies in Los Angeles. What makes it all the more special is that after two shorts and a documentary, this marks the first time I’ve had a narrative feature film play at FrightFest, and on the 10th anniversary of my first Ff appearance. So this one means a lot to me, as it was something I’ve longed to do ever since Beware The Moon in 2009.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day is the next episode of Blumhouse and Hulu’s Into the Dark, Down, directed by Daniel Stamm. I recently caught up with The Last Exorcism and 13 Sins director to talk about the challenges of filming a feature-length episode that takes place almost entirely in an elevator, and he also gave me an update on They, a movie written by The Stranger’s Bryan Bertino, which he hope to be filming soon:

How did you get involved with Blumhouse and Hulu’s Into the Dark series?

Daniel Stamm: I had done a movie with Blumhouse before, called 13 Sins, and Jason Blum was an executive producer on it. Down was actually a script outside of Blumhouse and Hulu that I read from Kent Kubena, the writer, before it was even [thought of] for a Blumhouse movie. And then a couple of weeks later, he called and...
