| Synopsis:
Archbishop Mosley assigns Father Michael to a church in New Orleans in this supernatural horror film. The parish church was the site of the throat-slashing murders of two priests two years earlier. While Father Michael tends to the mostly impoverished flock of parishioners and their needs, he launches his own investigation into the mysterious unsolved deaths. |

 Scary, not the scariest November 2, 2008
FrankV (Pacific NW, USA)
The movie got me scared all right, and I'll remember it. But it is not 5 star poltergeist, nor 5 star exorcist. That said, it did remind me of other elements in live outside of materialism, which is good, but now I do not dear to go to bed.................
Cheesy Fun... but why is it not available on DVD? September 1, 2008
Martin (New York, NY United States)
Yet again another movie not available to US/region 1 buyers.... Great I can get it from some UK amazon region two for over 40$; and who knows how much is shipping... which is unnaceptable.... You can even get it as a download but not as an actual DVD....
 Desiderius--the demon no priest can resist May 26, 2008
B. D. Faciane (Subiaco, AR USA)
I love this movie!! Although the New Orleans dialect is a little "cheesy", The Unholy is a delightful B-horror movie. Ben Cross does a wonderful job in his portrayal of Fr. John Michael, but I must say my favorite character is Teresa, the caretaker who loves to be in Father's business. If you haven't seen this one, I am sure that you will enjoy it. I watch this movie quite regularly.
 0 STARS: Elongated and boring. March 11, 2007

I'm all for a good scary horror movie, but "Unholy" is a snoozer folks. Not enough happens in this movie, and there is just too much filler space with a lot of nonsensical dreams and drawn out Satanic rituals based on sensuality. Also, to be quite frank, "Unholy" just does not have the feel or requisite atmosphere to be an effective horror movie. Maybe this is because the movie is so boring that it is hard to be drawn into the movie. I remain unconvinced by the characters in this movie especially the priest who takes over the church for the dead priest from the beginning. Overall, rather unimpressive and downright boring. Some scenes were just stupid and ridiculous. Let's face it: it's garbage.
 Punchy little horror movie August 16, 2005
F. J. Harvey (Birmingham England)
Set in New Orleans ,this movie centres on a Catholic priest,Father Michael (Ben Cross) who ,despite his vocation does not believe in the devil or in the existence of demons .He comes to see things differently when he takes over a church where the two previous incumbents have been violently killed .It is not long before he finds himself confronting the title entity a super-demon whose speciality is the corruption and murder of priests .At first the creature appears to him in the form of a luscious and ripe young woman ( Nicole Forher) but before too long it takes its altogether more revolting true form and the stage is set for the concluding battle between Good and Evil as the priest and the demon lock horns-so to speak.
The movie drags a tad in the middle but overall this is a neat little movie which does not stint on sights of the demon and the final confrontation is well done .
The effects overall are good and it boasts a pretty decent cast with solid performers like Hal holbrook ,Trevor Howard and Ned Beatty lending their formidable talents to proceedings .Tense ,well made and stylishly directed this is a good B movie for horror lovers
