Immaculate

An American nun travels to a remote Italian convent to begin a new assignment. The warm welcome she receives soon gives way to unease as the centuries old walls begin to feel alive with shadows and secrets. In this secluded countryside setting the everyday routine hides something harsher and older than anyone can admit. As unexplainable sounds drift through stone corridors and a chilling sense of culpability takes hold, she must decide who to trust and whether mercy can survive in a place where faith is both shelter and trap. The film keeps the danger mostly unseen, letting fear creep in through suggestion rather than gore. The tension grows without obvious cause. Yet the danger stays mostly implied and doubt.

Directed by Michael Mohan and built from an original concept by Andrew Lobel, Immaculate arrived in 2024 as a tense horror mystery. Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Simona Tabasco, Benedetta Porcaroli and Giorgio Colangeli star. The production leans on practical locations.

Box office figures for Immaculate have not been publicly disclosed, suggesting a limited or selective release rather than a wide festival or franchise rollout. It emphasizes mood over spectacle and targets fans of slow burn horror for horror enthusiasts worldwide.

As of now there are no major awards announced for Immaculate, but the film is being noted for its performances and atmosphere rather than big prize recognition. Critics specifically point to Sydney Sweeney's restrained intensity and the supporting cast's uneasy dynamics within the convent as the main strengths among critics.

Critics describe Immaculate as a claustrophobic study of faith under pressure, trading explicit shocks for a creeping sense of dread. The film foregrounds isolation, guilt, and the tension between mercy and secrecy, anchored by Sweeney and the strong ensemble. The mood rests on quiet performances and precise production design everywhere.
