The story of The Unhealer (2020) is a supernatural thriller that puts a dark, "Carrie-esque" twist on the classic coming-of-age and revenge tropes. The Setup: A Misfit's Struggle

Lance Henriksen: Known for his iconic role in Aliens, Henriksen brings an "off-the-wall" energy to the role of the fraudulent healer.

This moral ambiguity makes The Unhealer uncomfortable viewing. You want Kelly to win. You want the bullies to suffer. But by the time Rusty’s girlfriend is accidentally killed by the ricocheting curse, the film pulls the rug out. Revenge, it argues, is never clean. Even when the villain deserves it, the collateral damage is infinite.
