Synopsis

Spoiler shield

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.

“Be careful who you pray to.”

This movie Trailer was one of those that shows you all the good parts and then when you actually watch it, its just mhe. the movie does not capture you as it should've ,I mean they want to bring in demons and the supernatural in then do some effort. but instead we got a movie that just sat there waiting for something big and nothing really happens.
