Termed a cult-classic horror movie, Prey for the Devil has made its way into the most-watched movies list of the week on Netflix. Originally released in October 2022, Prey for the Devil has again become the talk of the town amid rumors revolving around Prey for the Devil Part 2. Prey for the Devil is a bone-chilling horror movie that revolves around Sister Ann played by actress Jacqueline Byers who is on the radar of a devil. The devil wants Sister Ann's soul as she was told by her possessed mother that she is a special soldier of God. Directed by Daniel Stamm, Prey for the Devil also outlines the lack of women priests and why they are not allowed to participate in exorcism.
However, one thing that has caught everyone's attention is the school of exorcism i.e. St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism situated in Boston, Massachusetts. Now, the question arises whether St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism shown in Prey for the Devil is real or not. Below is everything you need to know-
St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism & Prey for the Devil storyline
It was in St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism where Sister Ann was working in the Netflix movie. The school trained young priests in the art of exorcism. While Sister Ann's duty was to just attend to the patients admitted there on suspicion of possession, she always wanted to learn the art of exorcism in the school. Father Quinn played by Colin Salmon supported Sister Ann and hence she finally started attending exorcism classes.
When Sister Ann was a child her mother was possessed by a devil. Her possessed mother informed her that the devil wants Ann as she is a gift from god. When Ann was 16, she got pregnant and delivered a girl. However, due to her age, she gave her daughter away to another family. It means Sister Ann had a disturbing childhood. As Sister Ann starts working at the exorcism school, the demon that ate her mother follows her. This time, the demon possessed Sister Ann's daughter Natalie as it wanted to blackmail Ann to 'let him in'.
Is St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism real?
The answer is no. St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism is a fictional name shown by the makers in Prey for the Devil movie. True Scoop tried to reverse search the image that was mentioned as St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism. It found out that the St. Michael the Archangel School of Exorcism in real life is actually the National Gallery of Bulgaria. Located on Battenberg Square in the capital city of Sofia, the National Gallery of Bulgaria houses over 50,000 pieces of Bulgarian art.
