![]() While there, he inadvertently stumbles into the story of a lifetime when a deaf and dumb girl named Alice, played by Cricket Brown, is visited by Mary and is now able to hear and talk for her. When he finds out the story is a fraud, he scrambles to salvage it by creating his own false narrative. I won’t be able to forget the visual of Mary Elnor ever – but for all the wrong reasons.A disgraced journalist Gerry, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is sent out to a small town to investigate cattle mutilations. It almost looks cheap which results in the scares really taking a backseat (read: not existing). The Unholy is unremarkable with really bad visuals. ![]() The Unholy also features William Sadler and Katie Aselton whose characters are too unremarkable to pass a judgement.Īlso Read: Netflix’s Ghost Lab Review: Refreshingly New and Spooky | Gatao the Last Stray Review: Sweet Romance and Action Summing up: The Unholy However, this is Cricket Brown’s first major role and she’s good, although she could have benefited from a different movie altogether. I remember watching The Possession and feeling lost as to whether I was supposed to feel fear in any way. Jeffrey Dean Morgan has this unique ability to find movies such as these that leave little to no impact on the audience. Honestly, there’s not much to write about this one since it will so dull that I felt nothing other than boredom throughout its 99-minute runtime. There’s no sense of dread, horror or even an ounce of scares in this religious horror film that tries desperately to give us chills and thrills. Now, it’s clear that Mary Elnor is trying to hide behind Virgin Mary to enlist some names in Satan’s book and that’s an interesting concept in and of itself but good god does it come up short so badly. ![]() Alice looking at the vision of a woman in white whom she assumes to be the Virgin Mary is just hilarious. ![]() I understand it’s a dream, but it’s just so stupid. There’s a scene at around the 20-minute mark when Gerry is dreaming of a hooded figure coming out of the water and god does it look fake as all hell. When it comes to the horror aspect, The Unholy is below average. Let no one tell you otherwise.Īlso Read: Netflix’s Lucifer Season 5 Part 2 Review: The Right Reasons The Unholy tries to play it off like Gerry has changed when, in fact, he has not. However, should we call it being a hero when you un-f*ck a situation that you f*cked in the first place? You can’t just pick up a chain-bound, creepy as hell looking doll lying in the bottom of a dead tree and just crush it for your own benefit and then play the hero when it comes back to bite you in the butt. So, anyway, obviously, Gerry plays the hero and saves the day. She wants people to pledge their souls to Alice, which in turn will be to Satan, through Mary. It’s Mary Elnor, a woman who sold her soul to Satan and was thus burnt for it. However, as we all might be able to guess, this isn’t the Virgin Mary. Obviously, this turns into a media frenzy and the Catholic Church gets involved as well. She is seemingly cured by the Virgin Mary and helps others to overcome their illnesses as well. We then meet Alice, a deaf and mute girl, who is affected by Gerry’s stupidity. It is, thus, to no one’s surprise that within the first few minutes he pokes his nose into a situation where it does not belong and creates an unnecessary problem that really shouldn’t exist. He’s entitled, stupid, deadbeat and a drunk who has no regards for anyone other than himself. In The Unholy, Gerry is your typical run-of-the-mill horror movie protagonist.
