The Unholy (2021)
The Unholy is a new horror movie out in theaters now, produced by Sam Raimi and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan (from Watchmen and The Walking Dead). The movie tells the story of a deaf woman who supposedly gains the power of the Virgin Mary and begins performing miracles on the people around her, but little does she now that it's actually a much more sinister supernatural force. The film was released on April 2nd, 2021, and was met with negative reviews from critics.
THE GOOD
Well, the cinematography was nice at times, the final act got somewhat interesting I guess.
THE BAD
This was a very, very, very dull film. This film was not scary in the slightest, and mainly consists of pointless exposition. I haven't been this bored though a horror movie since The Craft: Legacy and The Grudge (2020). All this movie has for scares is jump scares, that's fucking it! No tension, no atmosphere, not a fucking thing other than jump scares! If you like a horror movie that contains more journalism and investigating than actual horror? The Unholy is the movie for you! Every performance was very bland, come fucking on, you got JEFFREY DEAN MORGAN in this movie, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU MAKE HIM BORING IN A MOVIE? I want to fucking know how the director of this movie managed to do that. This movie doesn't even feel like a theatrical movie, it felt like a very low budget Lifetime film! Let's talk about the CGI in this movie. Good fucking lord it looked fucking awful! It was downright laughable.
CONCLUSION
Wow there wasn't much to talk about, this movie just offered nothing! The Unholy is a completely unsatisfying, unscary, boring film! It was an absolute waste of time. It isn't the worst film of 2021 but wow it definitely didn't stand out as anything good. Thanks to a dogshit script and lazy filmmaking, The Unholy was an unholy mess.
