Sydney Sweeney (“The White Lotus”, “Euphoria”) stars in NEON’s new psychological horror film Immaculate, which comes to movie theaters nationwide on March 22, 2024. But Bloody Disgusting wants YOU to see the movie a bit earlier than that. That’s why we’re presenting preview screenings of Immaculate in select theaters TONIGHT, March 13!

The film reunites Sydney Sweeney with director Michael Mohan (The Voyeurs), who directed from a script by Andrew Lobel. Speaking with Variety this week, Michael Mohan teases a little bit of what we can expect from this one. In two words, it gets “fucking extreme.”
Mohan tells the outlet, “I look at the horror movies that were made during the American New Wave. If you look at Rosemary’s Baby or Don’t Look Now, what I love about those films is that you feel intimate with the main characters, yet they are cinematic. Even though the stories are told in these elegant and classy ways, they have this sense of danger. In The Exorcist, there are images in that film that movies today have not topped, in terms of how disturbing they are.
“So that’s what I wanted to do: make the boldest film I possibly could that will, hopefully, stand the test of time and get under your skin.”
“Movies should elicit a number of responses: Funny movies should be funny, dramatic movies should make you cry. We used to have movies that were sexy, that would turn people on, and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. It’s a spice that is missing in our current cinematic landscape that we absolutely need,” Mohan goes on to explain.
He adds, “I think this horror movie is a popcorn movie first and foremost. It’s a roller coaster ride, but the ending is fucking extreme. People are going to walk away having an extreme reaction to it, and that’s all [Sweeney]. She wants to push the envelope, but she wants to do it thoughtfully. I know she loves the movie, and I’m proud of us for not pulling our punches.”
Sweeney stars in Immaculate as Cecilia, a woman of devout faith who is offered a fulfilling new role at an illustrious Italian convent. Her warm welcome to the picture-perfect Italian countryside is soon interrupted as it becomes clearer to Cecilia that her new home harbors some dark and horrifying secrets.
Immaculate also stars Simona Tabasco (“The White Lotus”), Alvaro Morte (“Money Heist”), Benedetta Porcaroli (“Baby”), and Dora Romano (The Hand of God).
