IMDb plot summary: Cecilia, a woman of devout faith, is warmly welcomed to the picture-perfect Italian countryside where she is offered a new role at an illustrious convent. But it becomes clear to Cecilia that her new home harbors dark and horrifying secrets.
Directed by Michael Mohan. Stars Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, and Simona Tabasco.
Immaculate is a horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney as a nun in an Italian convent who discovers that she is miraculously pregnant, and her convent begins to take this as a sign of Christ's return. This is a pretty bad film. It's pretty easy to see the general shape of how the story ends, and the few surprises it throws in feel silly rather than refreshing. Sweeney may be an adequate actor -- I liked her in White Lotus -- but she's given absolutely nothing to do here other than wander around looking scared and innocent, which gets old fast. There are a few good moments of body horror but they are extremely drowned out by the execution, which is by turns tedious and nonsensical. Not a great watch.
