When it comes to horror movies, there are few films that have been as hyped up as the new movie from Neon Films featuring the beautiful Sydney Sweeney. This film which I will be calling The Convent Horror, advertised a mixture of religious and psychological horror with the action taking place in an Italian countryside convent. It was directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel; the movie was premiered at South by Southwest and gained attention due to the plot and Sweeney’s participation. As I started watching the movie and it starts to develop I was left somewhat confused and uncertain of how exactly I felt, I wanted this movie to be as good as The First Omen (2024), since I saw it first but Immaculate was not there. While The Convent Horror has some merits it also has some demerits which gives a feeling that there was a lot that could have been done. There were some positive and negative aspects of the movie, its mood, acting and the overall work done that determines the film’s position in the horror sub genre.

Immaculate (2024) is a movie that could have been a successful horror movie but failed to do so due to the poor script and underdeveloped characters. The only things that can be considered somewhat positive are Sydney Sweeney’s acting and the film’s atmosphere that occasionally offers some suspense and curiosity, the movie’s dependence on the horror cliche and the absence of the plot’s development cripple the film from being great. For the lovers of the genre, is a nice and sometimes creepy looking movie, but for those who expect a more complex and developed horror movie, they will be left unsatisfied same as I was when the movie ended, its a roller coaster of poor and some what good events that keeps you thinking this movie sux oh but wait this might change things but it never did, the ending was somewhat good so it was a good closing for a very average horro movie.
