Santa Klaus has lost his coat, Mrs. Klaus her skirt, they looked for them but didn’t find them, and they were both sad. And I was sad with them (more than usual), because a promising looking film turned out to be a very boring slasher that can only boast an untraditional villain. It’s fun or scary in a few scenes (I counted four in total), but as whole it’s drowning in boring dialogues and slasher clichés. A squandered opportunity, I’ve no problem imagining a great horror B-movie with Santa Klaus, but this sterile flick could never be the way there. Better watch Rare Exports. (14.09.2011)

"The Unholy" has one major problem, and that is the scenes that are not brought to a conclusion. There is a great potential in them in the sense that they could be truly terrifying or truly disgusting, but there is such a stupid cut - either due to technical limitations or a certain awareness of what will be shown - that completely kills the whole scene. Unfortunately, this is not just an aspect of one scene, but it happened to me several times throughout the film. It's a shame because this could have been a really great piece, but in the end, it's just average, nothing outstanding. (10.09.2014)
