  • Praise be! It's our spoiler-free review of "Immaculate," a wild new horror movie starring Sydney Sweeney as a idealistic, young nun who finds herself in serious trouble. Our good friend Tim Grierson from Screen International fills in for Alonso with his usual wit and wisdom. So much crazy stuff happens in this movie that we had to do a separate spoiler talk, which will come out next week, so be on the lookout for that. Directed by Michael Mohan, written by Andrew Lobel. Co-starring Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli and Giulia Heathfield Di Renzi. In theaters now.

    Gotta say, I respectfully disagree with Christy on this one; not only in the assessment of the movie (I'm right down the middle with Tim on this one), but also in the idea that this would invoke mother!-level backlash from the Cinemascore crowd. Immaculate just feels so milquetoast to me, to the point where I can't see it standing out either positively or negatively to the average person anymore than the typical horror film-of-the-week.

      I've been fighting that feeling. You might be right. I also think Late Night With The Devil wasn't aaaaalllll that great. Good, sure, but quite an easy watch. I was expecting less cheese and more sinister...ness. I'd take either over a Conjuring though.

    The story line was disappointing. Too many doors she opened, trying to scare us. But Sweeney’s performance was outstanding. She did an effective portrayal & if not for her, I’d trash this movie. It’s an insult & very offensive to the Catholic religion.

    Like Christy, I was really entertained by this film. I found the jump scares expertly engineered, which jump scares rarely are. Sweeney’s performance is pretty ballsy. And some of the shot-making in the film is unexpectedly lovely - her emerging through the hillside vines and ivy, covered in blood, is breathtaking. I thought the catacombs were effective - given what is happening in that scene, I appreciated how they simultaneously felt tomblike and manger-like.

    Wow. What a treat. I am about to go see Immaculate today, and follow that up, a few hours later, and watch Cabrini! Its going to be NUN DOUBLE HEADER. LOL! Granted, each film has a completely different take on the life of people in this vocation - the first being sacrilegious and the latter being reverential - so it will be interesting to see which one resonates with me more.

      @@BreakfastAllDay I just saw those two films yesterday. Immaculate was well shot and well acted, and that ending was so disturbing! Cabrini, the other film about nuns that I saw yesterday, was such a nice counterpoint to Immaculate. While Immaculate portrayed the oppressive and exploitive nature of religion with reference to its treatment of women, Cabrini shows how a life of religious devotion can be one of the most beautiful and impactful ways a woman can express her femininity. I hope you will do a review of Cabrini. I will soon forget about Immaculate despite some of its memorable elements. Cabrini is such an uplifting story, without being a heavy-handed vehicle for proselytizing, that it will stay in my mind and my heart for years to come.

      People should watch Benedetta regardless because it's a great and funny movie about power, faith and hypocrisy with three fantastic performances from Virginie Efira, Charlotte Rampling and Lambert Wilson. It's not a horror movie though for the people who are looking for that.

    I found the first half of Immaculate to be sluggish, but once it kicks into gear I was giddy with the type of excitement I last experienced when watching 'Malignant'. The ending is pretty extraordinary. Sydney Sweeney is definitely having a moment between this, Anyone But You and Madame Web (which I am one of the few who enjoyed!) Look forward to the spoiler talk.

    @kristopherschermerhorn998 Před měsícem

    Very much a 5/10 for me as well. Good atmosphere and some really creepy shots. But everytime the film would build tension, they’d immediately deflate it all with an obnoxious jump scare. The story itself seemed very silly. I personally didn’t think Sydney Sweeney’s performance was all that great. She was strong with the high emotion performances (hence all the praise), but I felt her dialogue wasn’t very believable throughout.

    IMMACULATE CONCEPTION is actually NOT about Mary's Virginal conception of Jesus. It is about Mary's own conception being FREE of ORIGINAL SIN. In Roman Catholicism, every person has the stain of Adam & Eve's original sin on the moment of conception, EXCEPT for Mary. Thus, she was chosen to bear the Son of God.
