8''Devil's Prey'' is a 2001 horror B-Movie of the slasher variety. It revolves around five college kids who get invited to a rave and run into a girl who claims to have escaped from a group of Devil worshippers called "The Shadows" who were planning to sacrifice her. The Shadows waste no time in tracking down the girl and want to capture the rest of the kids for helping her.

10The film veers into SoBadItsGood territory given its obvious low budget and patchy acting but it still manages to entertain with its good plot and actual CharacterDevelopment unusual for a slasher film.

12!!This film provides examples of:
13
14* ActionSurvivor: Susan proves pretty good at escaping from the cult members whenever they attack. She even becomes a DamselOutOfDistress towards the end.
15* AdultsAreUseless: The kids stop in a small town where [[spoiler: nearly every resident belongs to the cult]]. And the sheriff is an asshole.
16* AlphaBitch: Sam could count as a deconstruction. While she fits the bill -- blonde, bitchy, rich father -- she breaks down in the film and says that her father never pays any attention to her except when she's got herself in trouble and she says that she doesn't want to end up like her parents.
17* AssholeVictim: Subverted pretty uniquely for a standard slasher film; Eric and Sam are the asshole couple for the majority of the film with Eric being the drug dealer on parole and Sam just being a RichBitch. Then once they're alone Sam admits she doesn't want to depend on her father for everything and Eric admits he wants to turn his life around. [[spoiler: Then they get killed off]].
18* BlackBraAndPanties: [[spoiler: Fawn changes into these after her FaceHeelTurn. She wears them for her sex scene with Seth.]].
19* BlackDudeDiesFirst: Joe, the fifth wheel in the group lasts only two minutes after they find Fawn.
