The Unholy (1988) is a curious blend of horror and supernatural themes, featuring a priest who's up against a demon preying on sinners. It's not just about the jump scares; there's a creeping dread throughout the film that lingers after viewing. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, which some might find off-putting, but it works in creating a sense of unease. Practical effects stand out, especially during the more intense scenes - they have that gritty, tactile quality that CGI just can't replicate. The performances, particularly by the lead, add a layer of earnestness that contrasts with the film's darker themes. It’s definitely one of those lesser-known gems that sparks interesting conversations among collectors.
