Overview

Alice is a young hearing-impaired girl who, after a supposed visitation from the Virgin Mary, is inexplicably able to hear, speak and heal the sick. As word spreads and people from near and far flock to witness her miracles, a disgraced journalist hoping to revive his career visits the small New England town to investigate. When terrifying events begin to happen all around, he starts to question if these phenomena are the works of the Virgin Mary or something much more sinister.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A slow-burn horror film that exploits religious faith as a source of unease, letting ambiguity about divine versus demonic origins simmer beneath scenes of supposed miracles. It's more interested in creeping dread than jump scares, finding horror in what people will believe.
