Immaculate is my third horror film in a row. Yes 2024 is surely the year of horror films.
Directed by Michael Mohan, the film stars Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte (Money Heist), Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli, and Simona Tabasco (The White Lotus).
The film follows a young woman of devout faith, who is invited to reside at a picture-perfect Italian convent, but slowly realizes that the convent harbours terrifying secrets.
Immaculate is a full on assault of jump scares, horrific images, along with scary AF nuns and priests.
Not at all for the faint heart is Immaculate. That said it is the best of all three of the horror films I have taken in, in the past few weeks.
With Easter incoming, this is not for the church following. There are some deeply disturbing images, themes throughout the film. I did watch a lot of the film through my t-shirt.
Sydney Sweeney is actually excellent in this changing of gears from excellent rom-com Anyone But You.
With fear in her eyes from early on in this less than 1.5 hour film, Sweeney excels at a terrified young nun from Detroit way out of her league in Italy.
This was at times a tough watch, but a refreshing horror film after the recent tired supernatural run of the mill films.
Immaculate is rough AF, but worthy of 3 shook to the core stars.
