The Unholy (2021)
'The Unholy' follows Alice, 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.

    • Trivia
      Katie Aselton replaced Jordana Brewster due to scheduling conflicts.
    • Goofs
      During the ending credits is shown an imitation of a newspaper article with this title "Fatima: six teens see vision of the blessed virgin", dated June 25, 1981. It should have mentioned Medjougorje, not Fatima, because of the number of participants to the vision (6 in Medjougorje, 3 in Fatima) and the date (Fatima was in 1917). Note: also the date on news could be wrong because the news didn't spread immediately after the first appearance (June 24 1981).
    • Quotes

      Father Hagan: When God builds a church, the devil builds a chapel next door.

      Gerry Fenn: I never thought that I would hear a Catholic priest quote Martin Luther.

    • Crazy credits
      The film concludes with a superimposed quote from Scripture: "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves." - Matthew 7:15.

    Good premise but bad execution
    It started off good. The story is different and the idea of a false virgin Mary can be interesting. The acting is acceptable and CGI average.

    However, it fails to nail everything down. The last half of the movie is just a bunch of walking clichés. It's like they fired the writers they got and hired the cheapest ones. Very disappointing ending. Nothing we haven't seen a thousand times before.
