The Unholy  2021

Jeffrey Dean Morgan  Cricket Brown

Small town uncovers an old curse that has been re-invited back by a fame hungry journalist.  Gerald (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is a self centered journalist who does not believe in anything but his own popularity.  While in a small religious town, Gerald photographs an old tree containing a doll that has been wrapped up to enclose the demon spirit that once terrorized its people.  Once the entity is release it sets its sights on Alice an innocent deaf girl who now can hear and receives instructions from "Mary," who she believes to be the Mother Mary.  She is given the power to heal the sick and wounded of the town.  Alice is a visionary, being praised and adored by everyone, until the evil shows through.  Gerald befriends Alice and learns the back story of "Mary."  He helps Alice and the town see the truth and eliminates the demon.  The story line of this film was very good.  Well thought out and holds a classic creep factor that dates back to witch craft and devil worship.  I am not sure why, but this film lacked excitement.  The story was great, and it moved quickly, but I am not sure if it was the acting or the timeline of scenes but it had a dragging feel to it. I feel this film is worth the story if you have nothing else to entertain you.
