It’s been a mixed 2023 so far for Sydney Sweeney. While the rom-com Anyone But You has been an undeniable $200M hit, Madame Web was an embarrassment. Sweeney has taken what’s next in her own hands with Immaculate, a religious horror that she not only stars in, but is a producer. And while the film is out in theaters now (my review here), a new trailer teases a killer moment that has left everyone who has seen it shook!
The brief footage is nothing more than Sweeney unleashing a soul-rendering primal scream, followed by critic quotes describing the film’s shocking finale. At least it doesn’t give anything away as to what the scene is about. Do yourself a favor and don’t let it be spoiled.
Here’s the synopsis: Sydney Sweeney stars as Cecilia, an American nun of devout faith, embarking on a new journey in a remote convent in the picturesque Italian countryside. Cecilia’s warm welcome quickly devolves into a nightmare as it becomes clear her new home harbors a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.
The film is a reunion between Sweeney and director Michael Mohan, who she worked with on 2021’s The Voyeurs. Again, Sweeney produced this project and seems to be setting herself up as a power player. I doubt this is the last time we’ll see her and Mohan working together.
