   Coming out around the same time as The First Omen, Immaculate is another story about a novice nun being impregnated by a Catholic sect in Italy - what were the odds and is this an example of studio execs trying to monopolize on a predicted hit mentioned in the trades? Immaculate has a LOT in common with its better cousin, but does have its own, perhaps more straightforward and therefore predictable, take on the idea. Sydney Sweeney is sadly uncharismatic, mumbling through most lines and always asking other characters what they just said because everyone speaks Italian. She's more engaging when she goes full Final Girl on the offending clergy at the end though. Some of the gore is unnecessarily extreme and the film has that undersaturated, dingy look that requires only the best equipment and lighting conditions to watch, though it otherwise does look good. So it's fine, but I feel like we got the better version two weeks later (or in my personal timeline, months earlier). 1 month 2 weeks ago

   The director does not know what they want to do with this. Is it elevated religious horror? Is it wacky biothriller? Is it gonzo body horror? There are some fun ideas in here that under more adept hands could be fantastic, but they are executed so poorly that they make the movie that much worse. Some spooky atmosphere toward the start, but so much poor execution and so many threads that lead absolutely nowhere that this isn't even fun dumb, it's just bad dumb 7 months 3 weeks ago
