Sydney Sweeney plays a nun who moves to a mysterious convent in Italy that is hiding dark secrets.
It hasn’t been long since we last saw her in the movies Anyone But You and Madame Web, but Sydney Sweeney is already back with Immaculate.
In Michael Mohan’s horror, Sweeney plays Cecilia, an American nun who accepts a place at a remote convent in Italy. She realises the convent is not what it seems when she miraculously falls pregnant.
Horror fans will be excited to know that Immaculate delivers the goods. It isn’t particularly scary (although there are a few jump scares) but it makes up for that with buckets of blood, brutal kills, gory violence and wince-inducing body horror moments. The atmosphere is also unnerving, chilling and increasingly tense.
The horrifying moments ramp up as the film – and Cecilia’s pregnancy – progresses and builds to an audacious final act. In particular, the final five minutes are very extreme, making for one of the most disturbing and shocking horror endings in recent memory.
