Immaculate is a religious horror about a cult in Italy determined to bring about the apocalypse through an immaculate conception with a nun.
I should have expected less from Michael Mohan but I suppose I'm a sucker for horror. He hasn't done anything good and I'm not sure why Hollywood puts faith in people like this and writer Andrew Lobel. Lobel is a complete unknown and this isn't a good film for his first. It's quite the opposite, his writing shows he knows very little about the bible except for what is available through social media or a quick Wikipedia search.
I haven't seen Sydney Sweeney do anything worthwhile and they gave her character very little to work with. She was in Madame Web but that was nearly horrible. The Handmaid's Tale was good for the first season only as the second season wasn't good enough to catch my attention so I didn't get to see her character introduced. I still need to see Anyone But You but I'm not too excited about it.
Benedetta Porcaroli plays her best friend, Sister Gwen. She does a pretty good job considering her role and how basic the character was written. This was her first Hollywood movie if I'm not mistaken and though I didn't enjoy Immaculate, I enjoyed her performance.
The movie has horrible writing, and I know Hollywood really wants the audience to love Sydney Sweeney as they're putting her in a ton of roles. It's still a pretty poor and scare-less horror. Result: D
