As he is preparing to leave, he discovers the doll and purposely crushes it, accidentally freeing Mary's spirit. His latest assignment takes him to Boston, where the purported strange activity is revealed to be a teenage prank. Many years later, disgraced journalist Gerry Fenn works a job reporting on all things strange and unusual. Before she dies, however, her ash were kept in a kern doll, thus indicating the spirit is now bound to the body of a doll. The woman is hanged from a tree and ultimately set on fire. The film opens with the execution of a woman, later identified as Mary Elnor, accused of witchcraft in 1845 in Banfield, Massachusetts. Despite the film receiving negative reviews from critics, it was a commercial success, grossing over $30 million worldwide against its $10 million budget. The Unholy was theatrically released in the United States on April 2, 2021. The cast was announced between 20, with principal photography commencing in Boston, but on March 14, 2020, filming was suspended because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project was announced in December 2018 under the working title Shrine, with Sony Pictures adapting Herbert's novel of the same name. The film follows on a disgraced journalist (Morgan) who discovers a series of seemingly divine miracles in a small New England town and uses them to resurrect his career, though those ‘miracles’ may have a much darker source.
Produced by Sam Raimi through his Ghost House Pictures banner, it stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Katie Aselton, William Sadler, Diogo Morgado, Cricket Brown, and Cary Elwes.
The Unholy is a 2021 American supernatural horror film written, produced, and directed by Evan Spiliotopoulos (in his directorial debut), based on the 1983 novel Shrine by James Herbert.
