New films to catch: ‘Call Jane’, training to be an female exorcist and a date goes horribly wrong
Elizabeth Banks and Sigourney Weaver star in a drama about women in pre-Roe America who banded together to help end unwanted or dangerous pregnancies; a nun fights the devil and a really bad date.
‘Prey for the Devil’
Few things say Halloween like a nun battling the devil. Here Jacqueline Byers plays Sister Ann, whose special gifts get her training to be the Catholic Church’s first female exorcist — because there’s no glass ceiling in hell. With Father Dante (Christian Navarro), she fights to save the soul of a young girl from a familiar and familial demon. Directed by Daniel Stamm. With Virginia Madsen. (Rated PG-13. Premieres Friday, Oct. 28, in theaters.)
‘Run Sweetheart Run’
A date with an important client goes horribly wrong and Cherie (Ella Balinska) finds herself trying to escape the sadistic, game-playing hunter, Ethan (Pilou Asbaek). Think “50 Shades of Cray-Cray.” Directed by Shana Feste. With Clark Gregg. (Rated R. Premieres Friday, Oct. 28, on Prime Video.)
