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.

Please do a video on The Neon Demon starring Elle Fanning…
Basically we don't know what we are worshipping demons and witches dwell in the name of Jesus and in the church…so what is it worth not thinking about it and being a honest moral person seems to work better and believe that there is more than one
That time Neegan met someone a knife, club or barbwire bat is NO help or defense against..
Bold strategy cotton, let’s see if it plays out 😅😂😅😂😅😂
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.
It sounds like the same as Indiana Jones and the temple of doom what he is chanting @ 3:30 lol
Excellent video. Would it be possible for you to do
An in-depth look at the movie inception ?
I loved this movie. Guilty pleasure for sure. 😂
Bold move indeed, Cotton.
REPENT REPENT NOW!!!
So it’s midnight mass with negan
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.
The movie opens on February 31st? I never knew February had so many days in it.
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..
i would really lke you to cover the movie glorious
Man this video is packed with ads
You should do a review on Footloose
I don't care which one, whether the original '84 version or '11 version.
Did he say February 31st, 1845?
February 31st was a thing?.
The image used for the preacher “George Gifford” is actually Oliver Cromwell. If there is a hell he is surely burning there for his tyranny in Ireland
Jerry should have just contacted CNN, they dont mind publishing fabricated stories one bit
what the fuck is with this movie and stupid lazy jumpscares. OOO SCREEN SPOOK OOOO A WATER PUDDLE OOOO
Liked the video simply because of how hard it is to pronounce the director's name lmfao
So the film opens on February 31st? Ummm
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
Hi FCE! Could you please make a video on the 9th gate? Thank you! Love all your videos!
I remember this scene I saw a long time ago. Don't know if it's from a movie but I'm very certain, or a episode a teen girl is chosen to be the devil's bride. She was alone in her room wearing Only a simple black jacket. He's invisible pins her against the wall, removes her clothes which she enjoys very much, things get very steamy which her lamp gets broken attracting a bunch of people to investigate the noise. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
Love your videos! They give me a uniquely relaxed feeling, love your scripts
