The Unholy, a supernatural horror film written, produced, and directed by Evan Spiliotopoulos, will be released in 2021 and will mark the director's feature film debut. The film is based on the novel Shrine by James Herbert, published in 1983. The picture, which stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan, is produced by Sam Raimi's Ghost House Pictures and released in theatres on March 31. Aselton and Katie Sadler join Cricket Brown and William Morgado, including Aselton and Katie Sadler. Morgan portrays a struggling writer who comes across them in a tiny New England town and can resurrect his career due to a sequence of incredible coincidences. However, the miracles may be the product of something far more sinister than a simple coincidence.

As soon as Sony Pictures announced the film adaptation of Frank Herbert's novel Shrine in December of last year, the working title for the project was revealed to be Shrine. In Boston, principal photography began in 2018 and was suspended on March 14, 2020, due to the city's COVID-19 outbreak.

As of this writing, The Unholy has earned $30 million globally, with Sony Pictures Distributing releasing the film on April 2.

Many years have gone by since Gerry Fenn, the discredited journalist, worked as a reporter, chronicling unique and bizarre situations. The strange behavior of his most recent expedition can be attributed to a prank played by a group of teenage boys in Boston. In his final moments, he locates and purposely smashes the doll from earlier in the film, releasing the soul of a lady from its confinement within the beauty. Gerry gets engaged in a collision while leaving the scene of an accident involving a tiny kid named Alice, and the child is seriously injured. She speaks again when he exits the vehicle after following her to the tree where he first noticed her chatting. He understands that Alice is deaf and that she cannot communicate with him because of her disability. Because of this, Gerry chooses to stay in town and explore the story he thinks to be genuine.

When Alice appears before the group the following day, she amazes them by claiming healing from the Virgin Mary. Because of this, there is a media frenzy that is amplified by reports of miracles occurring. An image of Mary in red tears stands in the chancel and weeps as the healings are taking place. With the assistance of Bishop Gyles, Monsignor Delgarde has been assigned by the Catholic Church to investigate the charges. Alice becomes friends with Gerry, and it is at this time, Gerry learns that Alice had made the error of believing Mary to be the Virgin Mary after having an encounter with a Mary-like entity. Gerry finds a partner in Fr. Hagan, Alice's uncle, who was treated by Alice but now disputes the healings after experiencing visions of Mary as a horrifying monster. Gerry and Fr. Hagan become friends after witnessing images of Mary as a hideous creature. He discovers a book about a witch named Mary Elnor who performed miracles for Satan. Still, Mary Elnor rapes him, and his body is found hanging in the church before he can report it to authorities. The disclosure of Hagan's apparent suicide, according to Bishop Gyles, would contaminate the miraculous events that have taken place. It was concluded that the accident that resulted in his death was the root reason.

During a chance meeting with Natalie, the town's doctor, Gerry discovers that he has been reporting falsehoods to resurrect his journalism career. The disclosure of Mary Elnor's death by Fr. Hagan, which was hinted at in the prologue, draws the discourse to a stop. Mary made a pact with the devil to gain political prominence in her lifetime. For the sake of persuading her, he agreed to provide her and her descendants, who were later recognized as Alice, the opportunity to do remarkable feats. Mary Elnor is dissuaded from murdering Gerry by the crucifix and prayers of Msgr. Belgrade.

Their surprise upon discovering that Bishop Gyles was aware of Banfield's connection to Elnor, but believed it had nothing to do with the recent miracles that had occurred there, was palpable. Gerry is informed that any attempt to explain himself will be received with silence due to his illustrious reputation.

Alice's followers believe that she is unaware of Mary's actual identity because they think she plans to broadcast a church service beneath the tree. According to Msgr. Belgrade, dedicating one's life to Mary Elnor will strengthen her, and those who do so will be condemned to Hell. As part of an effort to put an end to this, Msgr. Belgrade, along with Gerry and Natalie, executes a ceremony in the church. Mary, on the other hand, assassinates him with a burning cross.

Alice asks everyone to make three pledges to pay honor to Mary Elnor, who passed away recently. Gerry maintained that the miracles were all part of a hoax and that the placebo effect was at work to prevent over-promising and under-delivering. Natalie employs the use of sign language in an attempt to persuade Alice to end the service. If Alice does not finish the conversation, Mary will never be able to speak again. According to Alice, Mary's true personality proved that the miracles were not the work of God and that they were the work of Mary. Suddenly, Mary Elnor emerges from the tree and flames it, sending the tourists fleeing in terror. She assassinates Bishop Gyles before moving on to Gerry's house and tries to kill him. Alice intervenes and makes the ultimate sacrifice to save his life. Since as a result of this, Mary Elnor is forced to leave because Alice was her last tie to the live world. When Gerry hears of Alice's self-sacrifice, he cries out to God, imploring him to spare her life. Even though she possesses the ability to resurrect, she has had profound deafness. After the film, all of Alice's patients relapse into their pre-existing diseases, and the film finishes with a warning from the Bible's Matthew 7:15.
