Finishing off this year's Halloween season is Lionsgate's Prey For The Devil, a supernatural horror movie about a young nun who trains as an exorcist and confronts a demon with ties to her past. Like director Daniel Stamm's breakout film, The Last Exorcism, Prey For The Devil draws on religious themes, both in the plot and imagery used to frighten viewers.

Religious horror is a subgenre with a long history, with the success of movies like The Exorcist proving that audiences love a good story that gets its scares from the darker sides of beloved faith traditions. For fans looking for the most critically acclaimed religious horror, Rotten Tomatoes can give some solid recommendations.
