What's a bad miracle?
The Big Picture Let me start by saying kudos to Sydney Sweeney, who hurdled mountains to get Immaculate made. Her first produced feature about nasty nuns and theological nightmares proves the actress has at least a bit of the horror bug somewhere inside. To see Sweeney fight so hard for something she believes in is an inspiring endeavor. At twenty-six, that’s a remarkable feat — it’s just a shame I can’t describe the ensuing film with equal adoration.
Release Date March 22, 2024 Director michael mohan Cast Sydney Sweeney , Simona Tabasco , Álvaro Morte , Benedetta Porcaroli Runtime 89 minutes Main Genre Horror Writers Andrew Lobel Immaculate is essentially “Loud Noises: The Movie.” Director Michael Mohan displays an inability to control narrative advancement in perceivable chunks, taking more of a clip-show approach to unsettling Roman Catholic symbolism.
Mohan’s visual style is wedged between the Conjurverse’s Nun series and pensive Italian giallos, as Christian’s camera slowly and obediently rolls past cathedral pews illuminated only by candlelight. There’s a gothic holiness to Cecilia’s new residence, complete with underground worshiping chambers where congregations wearing red cloth masks gather.
'Immaculate' Boasts Blasting Sound Design Close Mohan’s approach to horror is rooted firmly in piercing sound design, blasting your eardrums to ensure you clench your heart for a second. Once or twice is okay — jump scares are typical genre territory — but that's all Immaculate boasts.
