The Healing

About This Movie

The Healing is an intriguing TV movie that dives deep into themes of faith and the burden of belief. The atmosphere is tense, almost haunting, as we follow John, who genuinely thinks he can cure others with his faith. It's not just about the healing, though; there’s an eerie undertone that suggests belief can also lead to destruction. The pacing has that slow-burn quality typical of 70s television, and the performances feel raw and genuine, adding to the film's unsettling vibe. It's distinctive for its exploration of the darker side of faith, making it a thought-provoking watch, especially for those interested in how TV films tackled heavy themes during that era.

The Healing has had a somewhat limited presence in collector circles, likely due to its TV movie status back in the day. Original broadcasts may be scarce, making it a curious find for those interested in the era's television landscape. Many collectors appreciate its thematic depth and the way it tackles belief and consequence, which isn't typical for many made-for-TV films of the time.
