The Unholy

In the eerie and atmospheric 2021 horror-drama The Unholy, the quiet life of a small New England town is turned upside down when Alice, a young hearing-impaired girl, claims to have experienced a miraculous visitation from the Virgin Mary. Following this encounter, Alice gains the ability to hear, speak, and even heal the sick, drawing crowds of hopeful believers eager to witness what they perceive as divine miracles. However, as the town becomes a hotbed of fervent faith, the story takes a darker turn as a disgraced journalist, investigating the authenticity of Alice's powers, uncovers unsettling truths that challenge both his career and his understanding of faith.

As the journalist grapples with the reality of Alice's abilities, he finds himself entangled in a web of chilling events that suggest the miraculous may harbor a more sinister origin.
