Alice is a young hearing-impaired girl who, after a supposed visitation from the Virgin Mary, is inexplicably able to hear, speak and heal the sick. As word spreads and people from near and far flock to witness her miracles, a disgraced journalist hoping to revive his career visits the small New England town to investigate. When terrifying events begin to happen all around, he starts to question if these phenomena are the works of the Virgin Mary or something much more sinister.

The Unholy is generally perceived as a derivative and under-executed horror film that squanders its intriguing premise. While the lead performance provides a solid anchor, the movie ultimately falters due to generic storytelling and poor execution of its supernatural elements.

Acting Jeffrey Dean Morgan delivers a charismatic and grounded performance that remains the film's strongest asset.
Production The film relies on unconvincing, cartoonish visual effects and generic monster designs that undermine the horror tension.
Originality The narrative fails to innovate, functioning as a routine genre exercise that lacks original ideas.
Screenplay The film begins with a compelling mystery, but the quality of the script shifts from atmospheric intrigue to predictable, superficial storytelling by the second half.
