  • In the horror film "Immaculate", a young, pious nun discovers a dark secret in a remote convent.
  • After "The First Omen ", this is the second major horror film this year to focus on the mysterious pregnancy of a nun.
  • Leading actress Sydney Sweeney, known from the HBO series "Euphoria", also acts as producer on the film.
  • "Immaculate" convinces with atmospheric images and solid acting performances, but the story is quite predictable.

What is "Immaculate" about? A young American nun travels to Italy to enter a convent. Shortly after her arrival, strange events begin to pile up. Despite having taken a vow, it turns out that Cecilia is pregnant.

In the new horror film,Sydney Sweeney takes on the role of the young, pregnant nun, who is henceforth revered as a saint. After an attempted drowning by another nun, she begins to investigate and puts herself in danger.

After "The First Omen", this is the second feature film this year whose plot revolves around a mysterious pregnancy and sinister machinations in a convent.

The film by American director Michael Mohan captivates with its atmospheric images, including filming in real catacombs. The international cast around Sydney Sweeney is also convincing. Unfortunately, the content of the film is not surprising. At the end, however, at least gore fans get their money's worth: it gets quite gruesome.

"Immaculate" is now showing in all blue Cinema cinemas.
