That should have been kept a mystery and then revealed at the end, because, there were no surprises, no motivation to figure out. Is the film trying to be another Exorcist or Ring? A major flaw, at least for me, was spoiling the REASON for the curse in the opening scenes. The Unholy was directed by Evan Spiliotopoulos, and maybe it’s the director’s choices or approach, or the script itself, but for me, this film struggles with originality and execution of suspense/horror. Maybe that’s the director’s fault, though, and not Morgan’s, because Morgan is a talented actor. I think his acting choices in “Dead” were too exaggerated, bordering on cartoonish. I much prefer Jeffrey Dean Morgan in a more low-key role like this than the over-the-top Negan on The Walking Dead. I mean nothing personal, and am a huge film fan, with horror being one of my go-to genres. I realize my opinions are just that–opinions, and may differ from yours. But the ominous question is, is she for real, where does her power come from, and what does it all mean? If you don’t mind reviews that are tough, balanced, and fair, keep reading, because this is one of those reviews. It catapults her to cult-like popularity. The plot revolves around a young hearing-impaired woman who can suddenly hear again after an encounter with the Virgin Mary, and what’s more, can miraculously heal others. The Unholy is a horror movie that wastes the acting talent of Jeffrey Dean Morgan and other cast members.
