Film review: One of the current buzziest young stars Sydney Sweeney is as game as they come in a romp that allows few breaths to be taken
Immaculate review: Sydney Sweeney is charismatic in disgustingly good scoop-their-eyeballs-out horror
Fear not. Immaculate is certainly disgusting, but only in a good old-fashioned scoop-their-eyeballs-out fashion. The convent, essentially a hospice for stricken sisters, offers up the odd jump scare as Cecilia, comforted by Álvaro Morte’s scientist priest, comes under closer scrutiny than feels comfortable. A medical examination eventually reveals that, despite arriving and remaining a virgin, she is with healthy child. Unsurprisingly, this elevates her status somewhat.
The location, opening scenario and deceptive period – I believed we were in the 1970s until a mobile phone rang – point towards the Italian films of Dario Argento. Immaculate is not nearly so rich or so resonant. Michael Mohan’s romp is, however, at home to a fierce economy that allows few breaths to be taken. It would be nothing without a charismatic star at its heart.
