Mysterious Priest Murders Get Investigated in Unholy Communion Trailer | Exclusive

ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive trailer for the Unholy Communion, a gripping crime thriller about guilt, complicity, and redemption from Freestyle Digital Media. The movie will be available to rent or own in North American territories on digital HD internet, cable, and satellite platforms, as well as on DVD, starting September 5, 2025.

Unholy Communion is written and directed by Patrick Coyle, based on Dr. Thomas Rumreich’s novel of the same name. The movie stars Adam Bartley, Vincent Kartheiser, Iréna Flury, and Laura Robards. It is produced by Jasmine Reid, Anne Marie Gillen, Ruth Ronning, and Thomas Rumreich.

“When Dr. Thomas Rumreich asked me to adapt his novel, Unholy Communion, he told me just one thing: ‘it’s dark.’ So I braced myself,” Coyle said in a statement. “What he didn’t tell me was that it’s also funny and full of humanity—which is my kind of story. It’s been an honor bringing Thomas’ deeply personal story into the light of day.”

What is Unholy Communion about?

“It tells the story of a police officer who embarks on a journey to uncover the dark secrets behind a series of mysterious priest murders in rural Minnesota. A Catholic priest is found with a gunshot wound to the head. Officer Chris Majek arrives at the scene and discovers something chilling: the Latin phrase ‘primum mysterium’ (first mystery) has been scrawled next to the body. Soon, another priest is found dead, then another, each killed in cold blood, each forced to swallow a decade of rosary beads before being murdered,” reads the official synopsis.

“All the victims have been past perpetrators of clergy abuse and have been moved around the country by the Catholic Church, staying one step ahead of the law. As Chris digs deeper, his investigation begins to uncover long-buried town secrets that seem to implicate the entire community. At the center of it all stands the popular town dentist, Paul Thomas. Dr. Paul also happens to be Chris’s best friend. With no way to turn back, Chris must confront the truth about the murders, his lifelong relationships, and the darkness within his own past.”
