It's not that bad. The 80s vibe is nice and it all looks pretty nice. A snack for a Saturday night.

3*

Religious horror that starts off well, but then goes downhill.

The fact that the ending is very nice, with beautiful effects and enough filth, does not immediately make this film a masterpiece, but that it is a lot more fun is one thing that is certain.

A small 3.5

Saturday night we had a bit of a scare, or an attempt at it, with this The Unholy and it was not a success at all.

And yes, where to start with this whole? Maybe with the good points because then we've had that, plus points there are no unless it's the appearance of the demon in the form of Nicole Fortier in her transparent nothing. Give me a demon like that too, man, who has something of a Succebus-like concept. But that's about it as far as the interest is concerned, although the soundtrack is initially still nice and has a John Carpenter-like vibe but later on it also bluntly collapses.

But apart from that it's all a crying shame with Ben Cross as a rake incarnate who can't act, the whole thing is a matter of uninteresting, weak stuff with the necessary soft erotic situations in the New Orleans underground and the two midget gargoyles in the finale are hilarious just like the overdemon himself who turns out to be nothing more than a dirty old man who wants to lick a bit, well boohoo how scary and exciting. It's so bad it's enough to cry and will undoubtedly be one of the worst films of this year.
