Sydney Sweeney is a nun forced to confront dark forces, terrible secrets, and an unexpected pregnancy in the bloody first trailer for new horror movie Immaculate.
Also starring The Wheel of Time's Álvaro Morte and The White Lotus's Simona Tabasco, the flick follows Sweeney's Cecilia, a devoutly religious young woman who moves to the Italian countryside after accepting a job at a prestigious convent. Before long, though, it becomes clear to Cecilia that new place of work isn't all it's cracked up to be.
Michael Mohan directs, working from a script by Andrew Lobel. Sweeney produces under her Fifty-Fifty Films banner.
"I know God saved me for a reason," Cecilia explains to a fellow sister in the teaser, which you can watch above, as it cuts to a ominous shot of her stomach. "But, I guess I'm still searching for what that reason is."
After Cecilia starts throwing up and fainting at work, the convent perform some health checks on her, which winds up confirming that she is pregnant. A second coming of Jesus Christ, is it? As those around Cecilia start to doubt the legitimacy – and holiness – of her conception, they start subjecting her to torturous rituals, which causes her to question the true meaning of evil.
Over the last few years, NEON has been responsible for the distribution of genre titles such as In the Earth, She Dies Tomorrow, It Lives Inside, Possessor, Crimes of the Future, and Infinity Pool. Given that catalogue, we're not expecting Immaculate, which they're also backing, to pull any punches when it comes to scares or gore...
Immaculate releases on March 22 in the US. While we wait, check out our guide to the most exciting upcoming horror movies heading our way.
*This article contains mild spoilers for Madame Web*
Madame Web debuts to a disappointing Rotten Tomatoes score, continuing a trend of underwhelming critical reception for recent Sony's Spider-Man Universe films.
Madame Web may only just be swinging into theaters, but Spidey fans will already be keen to know when it might be landing on streaming platforms. The latest Spider-Man offshoot follows Cassandra Webb (played by Dakota Johnson), a New York City paramedic with clairvoyant abilities. After foreseeing a terrible event, she finds herself thrown on a path to protect three women from a murderous adversary.
Madame Web might be the most shameless superhero movie of all time. Far from just the cash-in that it seemed like a few years ago when this movie headlined by an F-tier superhero was first announced, Sony’s latest Marvel offshoot is a two-hour post-credits scene, made only intermittently tolerable by Dakota Johnson’s underappreciated knack for comedy.
The first reactions to Madame Web are in – and they're not all that positive.
We’ve known for just about two years now that a Knuckles TV series was on the way. Today, we get our first taste of what to expect when the show drops on April 26.
Madame Web star Dakota Johnson has opened up on her experience filming the Sony Marvel movie, and it sounds like it was unlike anything she'd shot before.
January has almost finished, and 2024 has already started dishing out the horror flicks. This past month saw the release of, a film about a ghostly pool, and the political slasher. However, the year has only just begun, and there are countless other horror flicks heading their way into theaters soon.
Madame Web box office predictions suggest the Dakota Johnson film might set a new negative record for Sony's Spider-Man Universe movies, making fans worried about the franchise’s future.
Honkai: Star Rail has revealed Gallagher as a new Fire Abundance character coming to the game with the launch of the Version 2.1 update, currently expected to debut in March. With the release of Honkai: Star Rail's newest playable world right around the corner, HoYoverse has given fans plenty of reasons to be excited about the new world. Penacony's release is expected to bring three new playable characters to Star Rail, more areas to explore, and even new gameplay mechanics. Now, players are being teased with even more characters to come.
Sydney Sweeney is more than happy to throw herself deep into the genre-movie pool and we’re all better for it. With rom-coms already under her belt, as well as an erotic thriller, and soon a superhero movie, she’s now turning to the old classic of convent horror. The first trailer for her new movie Immaculate was released on Thursday and it looks like a creepy and weird throwback to horror movies of the past.
Madame Web is rumored to have tweaked Spider-Man's mantra, «With great power comes great responsibility,» a quote that has symbolized the superhero's moral compass for decades.
