Directed by Evan Spiliotopoulos, The Unholy is a horror movie that tells the story of young, deaf Alice (Cricket Brown), who is inexplicably healed after getting a vision from the Virgin Mary. Suddenly, Alice gains the ability to heal the sick, becoming known for her gifts. However, when a journalist (Jeffery Dean Morgan) visits Alice’s small New England town to find out more, he finds out the real, disturbing truth behind Alice’s gift, paving the way for something more sinister to arise.
A sequel to the 2017 film, The Hitman’s Bodyguard, this action/comedy, directed by Patrick Hughes, once again follows bodyguard Michael Bryce (Ryan Reynolds) and hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson). This time, the duo has to team up with Darius’s notorious wife, Sonia Kincaid (Salma Hayek), to save Europe from a cyber-attack that promises chaos.
