The Unholy is the reason why I try not to watch movies again that awed me, scared me and made an impact on me as a kid, it's the reason why I haven't seen "Close Enounters of the Third Kind" or "Blade Runner" in over 20 years even though I know they're great movies, I just don't want to be disappointed.
I'll spare you all a synopsis of the movie itself, I haven't seen it in ten years, imdb will do a great job at filling you in.
I've seen "The Unholy" twice in my life, the first time round I'd forgotten most of the movie, all that mattered and all I remembered was the demon dog at the end, it remained the most horrific movie monster I'd ever seen, well up until I watched it again ten or so years later.
I remember renting it again expecting the greatest movie and monster ever conceived, it didn't quite roll out how I'd expected it to, the movie isn't that bad at all, it just couldn't hold up to what I had imagined as a child. The Unholy turned out the be very dull with moments of interesting ideas finished off with a monster that would make McDonalds toys look quality.
The unholy is the reason I haven't seen The Omen since the age of 7 or 8, why I haven't watched Rosemary's Baby, 2001: A Space Odyssey and many other classics in years, I just don't want my childhood memories of the films shattered. Though I think it's about time I started watching these movies again, I imagine it'll be like watching most of them for the first time, I just hope I'm not disappointed.
