“Immaculate” comes from the arthouse studio Neon, however do not go in anticipating the kind of “elevated horror” one would possibly usually affiliate with them. This leans in direction of the trashier aspect of the style, with loud in-your-face soar scares, gratuitous graphic gore, and twists that simply maintain getting sillier. However make no mistake: Michael Mohan’s movie is enjoyable, well-made trash. These soar scares would possibly typically be low cost, however they’re efficient nonetheless, and the extra ridiculous the story will get, the extra entertaining it turns into.
On the heart of all of it is an all-time nice Last Woman efficiency from 2024’s huge rising star Sydney Sweeney, taking part in the naive nun Sister Cecilia. An American getting into an Italian convent, she finds herself mysteriously pregnant and on the heart of a darkish conspiracy, however she’s able to battle again as arduous as she must. The setting gives some stunning imagery and music as a backdrop to the fear, and as far-fetched because the story is, the messages about bodily autonomy are all too related. The ending is a jaw-dropper.
