✝️ Plot Summary:
The Unholy follows the unsettling journey of Alice, a deaf girl who miraculously regains her hearing after a supposed vision of the Virgin Mary. Soon, she begins to perform miracles, healing the sick and drawing in massive crowds of worshipers to a small New England town.
Enter Gerry Fenn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), a skeptical journalist who arrives to investigate the phenomenon. At first, the events appear divine—but as he digs deeper, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the entity granting Alice her powers may not be heavenly at all, but rather something ancient and evil cloaked in the guise of holiness.
What begins as a tale of faith and wonder quickly devolves into a chilling fight against a demonic force that feeds on devotion and fear.
