Amy was incarcerated at Yale Psychiatric Institute for the murders, but she escaped nine days before John's return. Exactly one year earlier, Amy killed her parents and John's superior, Father Allred, during the exorcism ritual, and John was traumatized by the event. On September 21, 1987, Catholic priest John Ward returns to the Martin residence in rural Sterling, Connecticut, to finish the botched exorcism of 17-year-old Amy Martin. The game's story is inspired by the Satanic panic of the 1980s and 90s, where allegations of physical and sexual abuse in the name of Satan were made against teachers, schools, tabletop role-playing games, toy companies, heavy metal musicians, and television/film companies. The music is a combination of original music and pre-existing pieces, such as Ludwig van Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata and Erik Satie's Gnossiennes. Additionally, much of the dialogue is presented through 80s-era synthesized speech, with some voice lines and sound effects taken from 'real' electronic voice phenomena (EVPs) and exorcisms processed through those same programs. Though most of the game is presented in an isometric, low-framerate display, several rotoscoped cutscenes are used throughout each chapter. The game is styled after 8-bit computer games of the early 1980s, such as the ones found on the Atari 2600 console or Apple II computer. It can also exorcise possessed objects, which typically reveal notes that expand upon the game's plot or provide hints related to puzzles. The player's main weapon is a crucifix, which damages and slows enemies when held aloft. Players control a priest as he first attempts to complete a failed exorcism, then tries to prevent the summoning of a great demon. The game uses retro graphics similar to the graphics of an Apple II or Atari 2600. The game consists of three chapters the first two were self-published by Airdorf Games in October 2017 and February 2019 respectively, while the third was published by New Blood Interactive in October 2022 as part of Faith: The Unholy Trinity, a compilation of all three chapters with additional features. We think you will be, too.Faith is a survival horror video game developed by Airdorf Games for Windows. However, The Unholy took a different approach, and we’re glad to see new ideas onscreen. We’ve seen plenty of supernatural horrors with the same type of evil antagonists you may know exactly what we’re talking about if you are a fan of Blumhouse films. We especially appreciated an antagonist of a type seldom used in films. You can just sit back, turn your brain off, and enjoy a horror flick with low expectations. We also liked the fact that there was an explanation of why there was an evil force, and the explanation was done in an easy-to-comprehend manner. Though we watched the trailer a couple of times, we were still thoroughly surprised by little twists here and there. What we liked about The Unholy is the unpredictable nature of it all. However, Father Hagen (William Sadler) is not convinced because according to him, “When God builds a church, the devil builds a chapel next door.” So will Gerry Fenn run with it and sell his soul for fame and fortune, or will he finally do the right thing and save the townspeople before hell is unleashed?

However, he stumbles onto what may become the story of the century and therefore sticks around for the exclusive scoop, with a professional Sony camera to document miracles performed by a formerly deaf girl, suddenly able to hear and speak, who has caught the attention of the Vatican.Īs more people flock to this small town, unimaginable things start happening, leading a select few to test their faith in these miracles. Disgraced journalist, Gerry Fenn (portrayed by Jeffrey Dean Morgan of Watchmen and The Walking Dead) finds himself on the job in a small farm town, following up a story that does not pan out, so he has to dump it.

Produced by Evan Spiliotopoulos, Sam Raimi, and Robert Tapert, The Unholy is a better than expected supernatural horror flick. Which also leaves us wondering: How many people bought the wrong ticket intended for the other show or vice versa? Hopefully, after reading this review you will not make that mistake.

The Unholy definitely has all the qualities of an Easter movie right? Especially with a plot surrounding a young girl who can perform miracles after communicating with a superior being, which almost sounds like – well, it actually sounds just like- its rival opening weekend film The Girl Who Believes In Miracles but in a more sinister format. While some flocked to church, we went to the theaters on Easter Sunday to watch a movie about miracles, faith, God, and the Virgin Mary.
