“Immaculata” is Michael Mohan's latest film with Sydney Sweeney in the lead role. According to journalists from abroad who have already had the opportunity to see the film – the project is full of plot twists, hectoliters of blood, the atmosphere of the devil, but also eroticism – which seems contradictory for a film set in a monastery.
Meanwhile, emotions are running high due to the shocking and controversial promotional campaign.
Red-faced nuns
In March, at a special screening of “Immaculate” in Los Angeles, Sidney Sweeney wore a T-shirt that looked like the artwork. Flowers covered her bare breasts and stomach, and she wrapped her arms around her waist to support the bouquet. Moreover, the star appeared with nuns whose faces were covered with red cloth, and accompanied her grandmothers to the event, who are said to be proud of the controversy surrounding their granddaughter's video.
After the premiere, opinions were expressed among more conservative viewers: “Satanic, profane, pure evil and blatantly offensive. It is sacrilegious and has a third act that spits in the face of all that is sacred. Just… evil.”
What happens with the third trimester? The film tells the story of a nun named Cecilia who goes to an Italian monastery and from the beginning feels that there is something wrong here. When she discovers that she is pregnant and the doctor confirms the immaculate conception, the monastery begins talking about a miracle.
-This movie is a rollercoaster ride and the ending is devilishly extreme. People will leave the cinema with extreme reactions. Sweeney wants to push boundaries, but he wants to do so in a thoughtful way. “I know he loves the movie and I'm proud of us for not walking around with it,” says director Michael Mohan.

Interestingly, the director decided to change the ending to a more controversial one. In his opinion, Andrew Lobel's script, written 10 years earlier, was too restrictive. Mohan made the changes knowing full well that the ending would be outrageous. – Ten years ago, we had completely different times, both in terms of film and the political landscape – he explained in “The Wrap”. But he clarified that “Immaculata” is not a political film and does not comment on women's rights to make decisions about their bodies.
Journalists who had the opportunity to see the film at the SXSW festival confirm the director's words. “The Immaculate may be one of the best religious horror films in years. Get ready for one of the craziest endings you'll ever see, with a great script, great performances, and a beautiful, unforgettable soundtrack,” said The Immaculate's Ryan Rank. Daily Texas.” Ryan McQuaid of Awards Watch added: “The ending will certainly be debated by many.”

Infidel and satanic?
After the premiere, comments emerged that Sidney Sweeney had been duped in “this blasphemous, satanic, feminist, pro-abortion, anti-life film that degrades Christians.” “This movie also insults Mary, the mother of Christ. Don't bother watching it,” we can read online.
Most importantly, the young star known to audiences from the film “Euphoria” bought the script herself and decided that she would not only star in it, but also produce it.
“What if it does not come from God?”, “Suffering is love”, “This is not God’s work” – chanted the slogans from the “pure” posters. And Sweeney only heats up the heat: He posts recordings online of him reciting portions of the Old Testament — dressed in a gothic Snow White costume, she reads Bible verses along with images of violence with seriousness and concentration.
The actress also posted on Instagram a photo of a pregnancy test, but with a cross instead of lines… She also likes to post behind-the-scenes shots that contain a lot of blood.
There are queues at cinemas – viewers can watch the film in the United States for $6.66.
The amount is of course not accidental.
