Center
Primary
The film leans left by centering its narrative on a female protagonist's struggle against the patriarchal structures of the Catholic Church to perform exorcisms, advocating for gender equality and challenging traditional dogma within a religious context.
The movie features a visibly diverse supporting cast, though its central protagonist is a white woman. The narrative subtly addresses gender roles by portraying a female character's struggle to participate in a traditionally male-dominated religious practice.
Secondary
Prey for the Devil features Father Dante, whose implied homosexuality is depicted as a hidden shame and vulnerability. The demonic antagonist exploits this, using it to torment him and undermine his spiritual strength. This portrayal leans into harmful tropes, presenting queer identity as a source of weakness and sin within a religious context, without offering a counter-narrative or critique.
