20 Worst Movies Of 2021 (So Far)
6. The Unholy
Despite the presence of producer Sam Raimi and a solid cast led by Jeffrey Dean Morgan, The Unholy is a depressingly formulaic supernatural horror film entirely lacking in mood, personality, or basic tension.
Packed to the gills with jump scares and unintentional comedy - particularly a terrifying attempt at a Boston accent from Cary Elwes - this seemingly lithe 99-minute horror feels like double that length by the time it's all over.
Ploddingly paced and completely obvious, it's a handsome and well-acted film with absolutely nothing interesting to say or entertaining to do. As nice as it is to finally have a glossy studio horror film to watch on the big screen again, this one ain't it.
