In a film full of terribly overacting extras, the supporting cast actually does its best to bring conviction to this story as well. It helps that Jeffrey Dean Morgan (who last battled a dybbuk in 2012’s “The Possession,” another Raimi-produced creepshow) is so well-cast and convincingly navigates Fenn’s arc as a charming if morally unjust drunk who will be truly changed by these theological happenings. Besides the pre-credits opening, the film gets off to a promising start in setting up Gerry Fenn’s history.

Mood-focused and never less than handsome in style, “The Unholy” looks unusually good even for a PG-13 horror movie tossed into theaters during Easter weekend. But as Alice believes herself to be the descendant of “Mary” sent to carry out the Lady’s work, those closest to her will meet their maker as soon as they discover the healings to be more satanic than divine. Fenn wastes no time jumping on the story to relive his glory days of reporting. In the morning, Alice has been blessed to miraculously speak again and does so in front of the congregation after having a vision of the Virgin Mary. Fenn swears he hears the girl praying, but Alice has been deaf since she was born. Later that night, Fenn nearly runs over Father Hagan’s deaf teenage niece Alice (Cricket Brown), who’s crossing the street and makes her way to the tree to kneel. Almost 200 years later, hard-drinking Boston journalist Gerry Fenn (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), who’s been disgraced for fabricating so many stories, ends up finding and breaking that doll near the old oak tree. Her soul ends up being trapped in a kern doll buried within the hollow of the dead tree near a Catholic church, pastored by Father Hagan (William Sadler), in the small town of Banfield, Massachusetts. Looking through an iron mask, she is terrified by the surrounding men who hammer the mask to her face, set her on fire, and then hang her to an oak tree.

Although Barbarian largely remixes ideas we’ve seen before-even Airbnb horror movies are not new at this point-it does so with humor and panache.” But these moments are few and far between. Still, to some, the landing might ultimately feel a little shaky. (Thanks to the subterranean horror element and Detroit setting, comparisons to 2016’s Don’t Breathe would not be unfair.) In doing so, the film catapults itself from a capable but underwhelming chamber horror into something truly memorable. “While the first act of Barbarian leans into a Hitchcockian sense of foreboding, its payoff is pure pulp-a B-horror-inflected turn that places this film in a similar category to James Wan’s Malignant. Run to see it with the biggest crowd, at your nearest theater, with your loudest friends. Laura’s pick: Barbarian is a sick, unholy, and repulsive film-and not just because it’s a reminder that Bill Skarsgård isn’t dating me.
