Review of Immaculate With Sydney Sweeney


🪓🪓🪓🪓 out of 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓

OK, so I had to rent this one that's still in theaters because it's so ironic to have Sydney Sweeney play a nun. She was also one of the producers, whatever that means. So here we go! 

Immaculate, psychological horror, is a 2024 film written by Andrew Lobel and directed by Michael Mohan. In the intro, Sister Mary (Simona Tabasco) steals Mother Superior's keys and tries to escape. Four hooded and disguised figures make short work of that. She ends up buried alive. 

Along comes American novice Sister Cecelia (Sydney Sweeney), who was trapped under ice at a young age and died for seven minutes, only to be revived, in her mind, for a reason--a destiny. She devotes her life to God. 

Being special not lost to her watchers, she gets an invitation from Father Sal Tedeschi (Alvaro Morte) to join a convent in Italy, but her dream life of being a nun soon becomes a wide-awake night terror, for Tedeschi is a mad geneticist, and he's chosen her for a baleful, sickening reason. 

I feel that Sydney pulled it off, actually convinced me she was an innocent nun, her acting prowess flawless. The movie is gory as hell, which is supposed to be a last resort, and there are plenty of booby shots--I mean, it's Sydney Sweeney--but, overall, I thought it was an interesting, entertaining film; it didn't blow me away, however.

Check it out for yourself if you haven't already. It's been in theaters since March. And let me know your thoughts in the comments. Enjoy!
