IMMACULATE was rescued by producer and star Sydney Sweeney from development hell, 10 years after she originally auditioned for the project.
A horror movie about a nun who immaculately conceives a child the rest of the church believes to be the second coming of Christ? I can say why Sweeney would wanna hang onto that idea.
However, as cool as that idea is and as much as I admire Sweeney's producing prowess, I still left this movie underwhelmed. Maybe what hit hard in 2014 just doesn't in a post-Eggers, Aster and Peele world...? Maybe the Catholic critique is undercooked (more like raw). Maybe the jump scares just don't carry enough weight. Maybe it's all of the above.
