"The Unholy" wasn't the movie I was hoping for, so I sit here with a somewhat flaccid sense of 'was that really it?' here as the movie ended. So if for nothing else, then "The Unholy" is somewhat salvaged by the visuals. The CGI department did their jobs quite well here. I will say, though, that the visuals in the movie were interesting and for the most part quite good. But for an avid horror fan such as myself, then writer and director Evan Spiliotopoulos just played it way too safe by following the how-to-make-a-horror-film blueprint. But if you are new to the horror genre, then of course you will be in for quite something here. "The Unholy" is a fairly generic and mediocre horror movie actually. It felt like these performers weren't really allowed to unfold and give the performance a full 100%. But even with the likes of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, William Sadler and Cary Elwes on the cast list, then the movie just never really managed to get out of the mediocre lane given the somewhat lazy writing and the predictability of the movie. When I sat down to watch "The Unholy" I must admit that I was stoked, because of the movie's title, its premise and because of a rather unique and interesting ensemble of cast. The movie from writer and director Evan Spiliotopoulos just was a bit too predictable and generic, relying on jump scares that you see coming a mile away. Yeah, hold on now, because there is a but here but, the movie just wasn't outstanding. And I will say that the movie definitely was watchable. I was recommended to watch the 2021 horror movie "The Unholy", so of course I sat down to watch it. In the meantime, The Wailing is available to stream now to help stave off the anticipation for Hope. “Her bold, bright energy will be a great source of strength for this film.” “Everything about Hoyeon aligned with what I envisioned for Sung-Ae,” Na told Deadline.
