Unheralded at the time, The Unholy deserves a rekindling of faith.

There’s not much that’s particularly cinematically original in THE UNHOLY, the directorial debut of veteran screenwriter Evan Spiliotopoulos (directing from his own screenplay adaptation from James Herbert’s novel THE SHRINE), but what I find remarkable about it is how closely it captures the ambiance and atmospherics of its…
I was wondering what is your take on foreign whump? I can only speak English fluently unfortunately. I see so many lovely sets, a lot from Turkish shows especially but for some reason I just don't get feels in the same way from watching them, especially when there's no subtitles and I can't fully understand what's going on. But even with subtitles, reading that somebody is saying for example, "I can't breathe," just doesn't hit the same way as hearing them saying it and understanding it, if that makes sense? Very annoying.
I have a love hate relationship with it lol. I loooove seeing it on my dash because damn a lot of other countries know how do do whump way better than where I live and I enjoy it greatly. But I don't speak the languages and there's no subtitles!!! So I never have context for all the amazing whump! And that's if I can find videos of it at all! Those Turkish shows especially look amazing! And fell in love with Diogo Morgado thanks to seeing some whumpy gifsets of him in a Portuguese show. Germany, Mexico, Korea, and Russia appear to have some damn fine whump as well. And I wouldn't know about any of it if it wasn't for the amazing people in this community making gifsets and videos of it all. God bless all the whump gifmakers who share the non English whump out there for us all to enjoy. You guys are doing the lords work with that. I just wish I could understand what was happening lol XD
On the subject of PILF's, literally the only saving grace of The Unholy was Diogo Morgado as the hot priest/monsignor. I was drifting that movie, but whenever he appeared on screen, he got my full attention 🫡
Also Cary Elwes plays a hot priest and hams it up a bit, but tbh Morgado is where it's at
Horror history is filled to the brim with exorcism and religion based films that are only passable cause some hot person has decided this will be their moment, the hottest moment of their lives
OMG Nancy I've been saying that about the " Hot Jesus" since I watched this show many years ago. His name is Diogo Morgado he's a portuguese actor, another beauty messy though. He was caught cheating with his co-worker while shooting a Portuguese/Brazilian soap opera. After some time he dumped her, though and came back to his wife. M.E.S.S Y
NOOOOO!!!! Why must all roads lead back to Lisbon these days?
there are very few gifs of the unholy 2021 probably because it is a mediocre film but i’m shocked that there is no content of diogo morgado’s character at all. i thought this website loved hot priests. and his competitive dynamic with jeffrey dean morgan’s character is, dare i say it, vaguely flirtatious
Peça do Coração: EXCALIBUR dirigida pela coreógrafa e bailarina Mariana Tengner Barros, projecta cruzamentos disciplinares em colaboração com o artista gráfico Mark Angelo e a equipa da A Bela Associação. Este projecto surge da vontade de valorizar a Natureza, com foco especial nas árvores e na importância que estas têm no equilíbrio dos ecossistemas.
O processo de criação teve origem no mapeamento das árvores mais antigas da área da grande Lisboa. Foram escolhidas 4 áreas em torno das árvores identificadas: Alcântara, Lumiar, Loures e Benfica. Grande parte da pesquisa desenvolveu-se sob acções simbólicas resultantes do diálogo com a comunidade local, workshops gratuitos, pequenas performances e gravações de vídeo. Esta fase do projecto chamou-se Floresta Invisível, espaço de performance autónomo, temporário e móvel.O material recolhido e trabalhado nesta fase compõem a dramaturgia de Peça do Coração: EXCALIBUR. Na sua criação são também incluídas estratégias que permitem produzir conteúdos acessíveis a pessoas cegas e surdas. É muito importante para a equipa deste projecto que este possa contribuir para a erradicação do preconceito e exclusão em relação a pessoas com deficiência. Pretende-se que Peça do Coração: EXCALIBUR seja um objecto híbrido, composto por vários fragmentos desta experimentação, que convide o público a abrir os sentidos, na procura de conferir visibilidade ao invisível, som ao silêncio e forma ao desconhecido, numa viagem imersiva e interactiva.
O projecto conta também com a criação de um website para documentar, partilhar e disponibilizar vídeos em streaming, de forma mapear as conexões entre árvores, comunidades e territórios, assim como depoimentos e registos fotográficos, ou em vídeo, do trabalho estabelecido com as diversas comunidades. www.invisibleforest.ninja

Piece of the Heart: EXCALIBUR, directed by choreographer and dancer Mariana Tengner Barros, designs disciplinary crossings in collaboration with graphic artist Mark Angelo and the A Bela Associação team. This project arises from the desire to value nature, with a special focus on trees and the importance they have in the balance of ecosystems. The creation process originated in the mapping of the oldest trees in the Greater Lisbon area. Four areas were chosen around the identified trees: Alcântara, Lumiar, Loures and Benfica. Much of the research was carried out under symbolic actions resulting from dialogue with the local community, free workshops, short performances and video recordings.This phase of the project was called Invisible Forest, an autonomous, temporary and mobile performance space. The material collected and worked on in this phase make up the dramaturgy of Piece of the Heart: EXCALIBUR. Its creation also includes strategies that allowed the production of content accessible to blind and deaf people. It is very important for the team of this project that it can contribute to the eradication of prejudice and exclusion in relation to people with disabilities. Piece of the Heart: EXCALIBUR is a hybrid object, composed of several fragments of this experimentation, that invites the public to open their senses, in search of giving visibility to the invisible, sound to silence and shape to the unknown, in an immersive and interactive journey.The project also includes the creation of a website to document, share and make available videos in streaming, in order to map the connections between trees, communities and territories, as well as testimonials and photographic records, or on video, of the work established with the various communities. www.invisibleforest.ninja

8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?
I think Portugal gets confused as Spain, geographically, since we're tucked away in the corner, but I've personally never been mistaken for Spanish, especially since Portuguese and Spanish vary a lot phonetically.
What annoys me a little bit is whenever I change a website's language and Portuguese has a Brazilian flag. It's two different variants people, use two flags, please.
16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?
Us being often late (it's something that annoys me, since I prefer to be 15 minutes early than 15 minutes late), Portugal having a lot of bureaucracy, etc. Stereotypes I hate, hmm I'm not sure, maybe that we're frivolous? Like that comment in 2017 by the Eurozone President that southern European countries "can't be spending money on women and drinks and then ask for help". In reality, I think we're incredibly hard-working and we're not more productive due to poor managing and narrow-mindedness.
26. does your nationality get portrayed in Hollywood/American media? what do you think about the portrayal?
Hmm not often tbh, I think the most recent example was a Hallmark type movie that was filmed in Sintra! There are some Portuguese actors/actresses in the american film industry tho! Daniela Ruah, Alba Batista, Joaquim de Almeida, etc. And there was also the hot jesus hype with Diogo Morgado ahaha
Son of God: Directed by Christopher Spencer. With Diogo Morgado, Greg Hicks, Adrian Schiller, Darwin Shaw. The life story of Jesus is told from his humble birth through his teachings, crucifixion and ultimate resurrection.
