We chat with PreyForTheDevil director Daniel Stamm about his latest horror film, what really scares him, and why he's never afraid on the sets of his movies:
Prey for the Devil is about an eternal battle between good and evil and the Catholic priests who fight it. Following Sister Ann , Prey for the Devil sees her character attend exorcism classes so she is better equipped to fight against a demon that has been haunting her since childhood. When a young girl arrives at the school seemingly possessed, though, things take a turn for the worst. Sister Ann will have to look into her past to save herself and the young girl from the demons of the present.
You can plan for that as much as you want to, but it's something that just either happens and materializes or doesn't. There are good horror movies where that never materializes. But when it does, it's something that the audience doesn't have any defenses against, it'll slip right in there. And they can't do anything about it. And that's my favorite horror effectively.
And it's the same here. We have to have the feeling we know that character. And we need to be given a reason why we feel protective of that character, and why we want that character to be successful. In our film, for example, there is the scene that we now start with, which is Sister Ann talking to a psychiatrist about her backstory.
It's funny that you mentioned demons of the past. I was just reading this Variety piece, and they ranked The Last Exorcism as one of like the best-found footage horror films ever. You've done so much in horror, what do you take from each project, and how do you apply that to a new project? I love this world, this idea of the battle between good and evil. What kind of research went into depicting these exorcisms and these classes and this process of learning how to become an exorcist?
