THE UNHOLY (Bride of Satan, Malefici + Ending) EXPLAINED

- Hey guys what’s happening? Niyat here with film comics explained. As requested, today we’ll be exploring The Unholy, the 2021 supernatural horror directed by Evan Spiliotopoulos and Produced by Sam Raimi, based on the 1983 novel Shrine by James Herbert.
Starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, William Sadler, Cricket Brown, Diogo Morgado, Katie Aselton and Cary Elwes, it follows an old town with a horrible history. When Gerry Fenn, a journalist with no integrity stumbles upon the quiet town of Banfield, hoping to turn a bogus story into money, he comes upon a case unlike any other.
A hearing-impaired girl is visited by the Virgin Mary, enabling her to speak and hear for the first time. As more people flock to Banfield to witness the amazing miracles that follow, both the Vatican and Gerry begin to wonder if the events are divine or sinister in nature.
The 1983 novel is an edgy thriller with themes revolving around Catholicism, demonic possession, witchcraft, religious fervour, and miracles. Each chapter begins with a quote from a famous literary work, often a fairy tale or poem dealing with folklore. From the works of Hans Christian Andersen, The Brother’s Grimm to excerpts from Peter Pan, among others.
The mass religious hysteria that envelopes Banfield drives both the novel and the spiritual entity at the core of the story, pushing the beliefs and doubts of the main characters until the final crescendo. Those that were not religious find themselves turning to faith. Those that were already religious are also taught to be weary of religious delusion and false prophets.
It’s a fine tale by James Herbert, brought to life by Evan Spiliotopoulos in his feature film debut. While the essence of the novel is intact, along with the major beats, auxiliary characters are removed to improve pacing and structure.

nice to see John Winchester is still hunting demons.
“Can’t stop. Won’t stop” - John Winchester, probably 😂
Who?
Still saving people, hunting things,the family business
But did he bring the salt? Lol
And driving that old sweet ride !
Man one look at that evil ass tree is enough to let you know somethings up
I always wondered how a tree could look evil, then me and my wife bought a house, and theres a big old oak tree in the backyard, isnt fully dead, but grows no leaves. Definitely evil, we had it cut down because it gave me the creeps.
@@burpostockings when you cut down the tree did you feel any disturbances in your house ?
It's always the Winchester's duty to take on demons
Dean Winchester killed the whore of Babylon in season 5 ( the false prophet ) and now his dad John Winchester killed ( kinda ) another false prophet.
Like father, like son... Or rather the opposite.
Damn Negan got into some shit before the walker apocalypse came.
He was John Winchester before Negan remember that 😂
@@allymaariee I thought that was Soldier Boy.
@@JcBravo8 No that's DEAN Winchester, his son. :P
@@therebelofchaos1674 Goddamn. No wonder Soldier Boy got daddy issues XD XD.
@@allymaariee And he had a better and longer role as Negan.
The creature design's pretty awesome, the baggy dress and hood kind of breaks the usual outline of a humanoid and she also has uncanny proportions, as well as the eyes behind the mask looking full on black like some owls paired with the raw fleshy skin. Freaky stuff.
The baggy dress and hood reminded me of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come in The Muppet Christmas Carol.
@@jbonkerz Oh yeah that was what it kind of reminded me of, big puppets like them are scary
@@kennethsatria6607 That big reaper looking puppet scared me as a kid and still creeps me out as an adult.
It certainly broke modern protocol
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and it’s use of the kern doll.
So Negan went from smashing people with a baseball bat in a zombie apocalypse to banishing demons while carrying the reputation of a tarnished journalist? Damn what an upgrade
No he was fighting demons long before walkers, now he is back. Look up Supernatural they even have Negans bat for a few episodes
If he just whistled the movie would be over in 5 minutes
Your nearly at 1M Niyat! You deserve it mate, your channel is excellent 👌
Thanks mate! :)
it is so cool to see him grow so much :)
@@robbyg6265 totally agree, I’ve watched for years now and am so pleased a fellow Aussie is breaking that level 👏
It's done now :)
When God builds a church, the devil builds a chapel next door.. Never seen this movie but it looks bad ass
I was really suprised how decent the movie is.. All these movies that center around religion (The Nun) I find are way more terrifying then just some regular monster or killer...esp the super devout fanatic fire and brimstone kind of people...
Great content like always sir..i look forward to your breakdown for the final episode of The Last Of Us soon..
10:28 the bleeding statue is like demon because demons can not only possess human beings but also statues, hanged pictures in the walls that’s according to my beliefs
Was it the devil that brought the girl back from the dead at the end? With the virgin Mary still weeping blood then that’s what I assumed.
Shit I didn't consider that, though if she already is aware of Mary she could still warn her descendants or just live and die with no children unless there's others
That could be the case, since the devil likes to use deception.
That’s what I considered she’s the conduit the new doll
This could intepreted as God blessing Gerry as a real prophet having the ability to heal. Real miracles or blessings isn’t showy or boastful but is enlightening which is the case for Gerry. He is like the girl now with powers but this time given by God.
Demon cant revive death only God can
The scene of the letters turning to ink was masterclass. Also the way “Mary” comes out of the water was awesome and freaky.
You can see Sam Raimi in the details for sure. The man is his own brand of genius
I thought all Sam raimi did was the Spider Man films
@@isaiahwilliams2332 evil dead was his first film
Love your videos! They give me a uniquely relaxed feeling, love your scripts
I wish they gave Alice a slurring-ish accent, if she was mute/deaf her whole life, her tongue woudnt know how to much naturally for words. But if then that would’ve meant they would need more forethought into body functions
Devil magic I guess, it kind of works
Thing I love about Ramy that I love about Del Torro, is they're WILLING to stare at the monsters and see details.
Will keep asking/suggesting.... please do an in depth vid on the Umbrella Corporation. You've already done the monsters and virus itself but nothing on the actual company, how they operate, their influence, etc. It'd be a good one if it's anything like your other in depth vids on the fictional corps! 👌🏼
Sam and Dean should’ve been on this case
That's overkill for them now. They too busy slapping gods around 😊
Look at The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
Yes Jazz king! Its on the list :)
Excellent video. Would it be possible for you to do
An in-depth look at the movie inception ?
Yes absolutely! I've been meaning to jump back into that
almost 1 million, congrats you deserve it!
This looks interesting
Bill Sadler is always a favorite.
its adam sandler u etard
Great actor
@@filmcomicsexplainedthe best Death
What about Sad Biller?
@@MarcusHalberstramVP He's apparently a threadomancer.
I like the openings call back Black Sunday aka The Mask of Satan as the lead villains are tortured in much the same manner having masks nailed to their faces only difference was it was shot 3rd person and also was done in the early 1960's so the scene scared the crap out of audiences world wide.
saw this at 25 seconds after posted
When a demon tries to underestimate a Winchester
February 31st in Banfield, Massachusetts? Are you sure? Lol
Do a video explaining callums corners head shape
Adding that to the list!
@FilmComicsExplained yes its a very scary shape and reassembles a tic tac and even worse he has bamboo limbs 💀. Please sure to mention me so callum knows its me that brought attention to his weird head 😉
You should check out John Carpenter 1988 film They Live.
The movie opens on February 31st? I never knew February had so many days in it.
It’s a thing in the movie, basically the way they trapped her inside the Kern baby originally was by writing an impossible date of birth (31st February) on the doll when they trap the soul in it.
[DOOM/Warhammer 40k/Underworld/Attack On Titan] What If DOOM, Warhammer 40k, Underworld And Attack On Titans Took Place In Same Universe
pure chaos.
While watching this i noticed at the 6:05 minute mark the Food truck has FFFood written on it, "F" being the 6th letter of the alphabet so it's 666 XD.
Ayyyyyy love your videos 🎉🎉🎉
This made me think of the movie the devil conspiracy a movie that keep me entertained but I don't know what to think about it.
I like how JeffreyDean Morgan goes for roles in supernatural/demonic plots
Give the devil his due.
He can stay in hell. That was the agreement
*due
"I'll bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, cause I think I'm better than you."- The Devil
I love how everyone thinks these overly religious people and figureheads are so blinded hy their own religion that they think EVERYTHING but Christianity is “The Devil”, when they themselves are really “The Devil” they speak of.
Look at Sphere.
Absolutely dude!
Its so cringy. The jumscare is hilarious. Jeffrey Dean Morgan is acting like he just wanted to get this shit over with.
At the 3:40 point, you say that the film begins on Feb 31st, 1845. Since when did Feb have 31 days?
It was a long year...
February 31st is the date engraved onto the kern doll after the execution, meaning the townspeople weren’t too good with dates 😂
@@filmcomicsexplained I think in the movie they explained they used a date that would never happen, to trap the soul in the doll. So it couldn't be released on an anniversary or something
Well, like all his other videos, this was definitely interesting. I like it.
It’s supposedly Fauci’s favorite movie.
When you can’t afford the colt revolver $9.99 DLC
You gonna revisit dead space remake my guy, you gotta, if not will u cover things from diablo 4?
Is it good? I’ll have to get back into that universe soon
Very good the lore is slightly different but it could be worth revisiting
Okay bet!
I will never not hear "me at here with filmscomicsexplained"
when did neegan got interested in some devil shit? all I know about him is to make spaghetti while swinging lucille
Meehan wasn’t but Winchester was obsessed lol
Whenever you do a new video about comics, can you pick a series or characters that aren't from DC or Marvel because there are so many different comic publishers like image comics or boom studios that have released a great amount of content that you can cover on your channel.
Hell, even Zenescope entertainment has some amazing stories
"Bold strategy." Nice dodgeball reference lol
Dude I'm pausing this video and watching this movie right now! I'll be back!!
Despite the film receiving negative reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, grossing over $31 million worldwide against its $10 million budget.
Thats barely a profit… always go 2.5x the filming budget. Because filming is only one part. You have all the advertisment and all the cuts the cinema takes from showing it. So maybe it made 2-4 million at most. Thats just over breaking even ^^.
This was an interesting take on religious horror
Bold strategy cotton, let’s see if it plays out 😅😂😅😂😅😂
Here's a problem with this movie: Catholics don't pray to saints or to Mary. We ASK the saints or Mary to pray FOR us (or for whatever our intention may be). If someone had made this claim in real life, the Church hierarchy wouldn't have gone along with it.
Just putting that out there. Very good recap. :)
Carey Elwes is in this movie? I gotta see it now
I had to rewind and replay a certain portion of this video, just to be certain. February 31st, eh? Now, that is a notable date!
The imdb rating on this movie does it no justice. I thought the film was pretty good. My only criticism was the effects were a bit cheap and kinda cheesy at different times like when mary is coming out of the river in Gerry's dream and a few of the jump scares where they show marys hooded visage up close but other than that the pacing, the story the acting was all pretty good and I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I only wanted to add that the end made me feel like someone was inspired by harry potter lol. When Mary kills alice it reminded me of when Harry is killed by Voldemort as far as the horcrux symbolism is concerned as well as sacrificing himself to save everyone else but then when the final scene shows us the statue of Mary crying tears of blood it made me think they didn't want to seem too derivative and wanted to create doubt about Mary truly being vanquished. Overall its a good film and was fun to watch.
Jeffrey Dean Morgan was also in "The Possession", another spookyfilm.
While an interesting movie...I do kind of wish people would stop with the "but what if the women who were cruelly and brutally murdered for no good reason really WERE evil" because it just feels like a huge insult to the fact that the tragedy of the numerous witch hunts all over the world is that there were no witches, there were no women selling their souls to the devil and I'm personally just sick of that concept being used over and over again. I'd like to see more movies go the opposite way and focus more on the horrors the church has put people through instead of validating them and their bigotry over and over again...
A lot of what I see is that the women are innocent till they are no longer able to be innocent, after which she decides "then let me be evil"
Dang, I was possibly first, took a screen shot when I realized it, but took 5 minutes to realize it lol.
Bold move indeed, Cotton.
A ad I got was valviline oil. Said you can watch them change your oil without ever leaving your car while showing a tech in front of a open hood. I haven’t been driving in a few years granted, but has changing oil changed? How far are you supposed to hang out the window?
What a coincidence just two days ago I watched the Bishop in Tale From The Crept: Demon Knight and that made me want to watch Roswell he played a sheriff the whole series.
Thanks for bringing this movie to my attention.
3:41 February 31st??
Good ol john Winchester putting demons on t-shirts
Did you say February 31st? 🤔
You should do a review on *Footloose*
I don't care which one, whether the original '84 version or '11 version.
February 31 or 31 February does not exist in both Julian calendar and Gregorian calendar. It is used on gravestones when the date is never really known.
$150 isn't worth the gas money to drive...
FCE you do awesome work i love every video you do keep up the good work, can you do a video called FROM and thanks
Another outstanding video many thanks
God protects those who don’t stray from his path.
There are no short cuts...
“A journalist with no integrity.”
Umm you’re going to have to be more specific lol.
Love the video can you do Horcruxes,Boggart,Salazar Slytherin,Herpo the Foul,,Triwizard Tournament,Barty Crouch Jnr and Regulus Black from Harry Potter
Maybe if Alice was baptized and truly gave her life to the Lord, Mary wouldn't be able to use her as an anchor to the living world.
..imagine a fire that burns but insteady of hurting, its more pleasure and hate than anything u have experienced...
Movie looks crazy
It’s wild
I didn't like it but that's just my opinion .
0:22 Burning crosses? Never a good thing where I come from.
Is her name seriously cricket? Cricket brown? Dude wtf I would hate my parents.
That time Neegan met someone a knife, club or barbwire bat is NO help or defense against..
Definitely gonna watch this one!
So it’s midnight mass with negan
Mommy don't know Daddy's getting hot...
You think he’d salt and burn it instead of breaking it 😅
I loved this movie. Guilty pleasure for sure. 😂
Man this video is packed with ads
9:56 Dad is not a believer.
3:38 - February 31st?
3:50 - *hanged
It sounds like the same as Indiana Jones and the temple of doom what he is chanting @ 3:30 lol
i would really lke you to cover the movie glorious
Can you do A Scanner Darkly?
5 minute mark/ them that Judge any and all that do not follow, what ever set of words they by lack of deed prove do not follow, r the Real scary Ones.
they judge any one for not being what ever that 'anyone' person claims to be.
Heretics are then Judged, and without a God to protect them, are Purged (have been).
another great tear drop thanks and be well
The poor man’s midnight mass
February 31st 1845
Is this the prequel to Supernatural?
I stopped the video to watch the movie 🎥, very interesting
I love possession movies but i couldnt get into this one it was kinda dry to me i heard ppl say its really good but every time i put it on i wind up doing something else
When they put the mask on her with the spikes, it reminds me of Black Sabbath
This movie was very unexpected. Very good movie
Negan be smashing demon heads
