About this movie

The Unholy, based on James Herbert's best-selling book Shrine, follows a young hearing-impaired girl who is visited by the Virgin Mary and can suddenly hear, speak, and heal the sick. As people from near and far flock to witness her miracles, a disgraced journalist (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) hoping to revive his career visits a small New England town to investigate. As terrifying events begin to happen all around him, he starts questioning if these miracles are the works of the Virgin Mary or something much more sinister.

I mean don't you know from the posters, the trailers, and the plot what this is and what it's gonna do? I mean Hollywood has been cranking out these dud horror movies since the 90s. Jeffery Dean Morgan already did this with 2012's The Possession, which what you should watch instead instead of this lazy, not scary, even if you did nothing but jump scares, lackluster film that was clearly put out because of Covid-19 to give media starved people something to nibble on.

This movie really isnt that bad. It dosent rely on cliché jump scares and cgi, but it focuses more on the power of influence, illusion, and how things arent always as they seem. This world is a cosmic game of chess between God and Satan, and we are all pieces on the board. Its a good movie worth watching that will make you question the true purpose of life and our souls.

Mr. Morgan is the only good thing in this abysmal film. This is the worst movie I have seen in my entire life. I never walk away from a movie in the theater but I did for this one. It was falling apart at the seams. It’s categorized as horror when in reality it should be categorized as a drama. There were no jump scares. There were scenes in the film that had no real consequence to the rest of the film. It was a joke. Please do yourself a favor and don’t watch this film. Don’t buy it. If you rated it 5 stars is clear you haven’t seen it or your taste is equally abysmal.
