Immaculate 2024

Sydney Sweeney plays Cecilia, a devout young American nun who arrives at a serene Italian monastery to serve its elderly sisters. When she becomes inexplicably pregnant, she begins to suspect the convent’s idyllic facade hides something far more sinister—which triggers a terrifying unraveling of faith, institutional horror, and bodily autonomy.🎭 Critics Rotten Tomatoes: Tomatometer: 71% (critics) Audience “Verified” score: ≈58% (3.4/5). Metacritic (audience): ~56/100. IMDb Rating: 5.8/10 from over 55K votes.Praise for Sweeney:She earns consistent approval for anchoring the film with emotional intensity and commanding screen presence, elevating what many see as a fairly straightforward horror narrative. Critics often called the story predictable, underwritten, or derivative—particularly drawing comparisons to The First Omen for its satanic and body-horror themes.Some reviewers highlighted heavy-handed commentary on control over women's bodies, noting its timely resonance—but found the messaging lacked nuance. That said, the film’s shocking final act and graphic visuals reportedly provoked strong audience responses—including fainting or walkouts at theaters.🗣️ Audience Reactions Reddit and fan reviews offer contrasting takes:“Sweeney delivers the standout performance here... Immaculate does succumb to telegraphed jump scares, it can craft a uniquely tense atmosphere that is creepy to watch.”“It definitely had promises but fell into the typical narratives... Predictable, acting was quite bad... overall mediocre.”Some viewers found the ending controversial due to graphic pregnancy-related content and themes of forced bodily harm.📺 Streaming & Availability Theatrical release (U.S.): March 22, 2024.

Released on March 22, 2024, Immaculate debuted with a strong $5.3 million in its opening weekend, marking the best opening for distributor Neon at that time. Despite facing competition from major releases like Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Dune: Part Two, the film managed to secure the fourth spot at the box office.
