2024 didn’t get off to a great start for Hollywood rising star Sydney Sweeney with the dismal critical response to “Madame Web.” But that’s one lull for the young actress in three straight years of ascendant stardom. And it’s a period where she’s dabbled in all sorts of genres: from rom-coms like “Anyone But You” to erotic thrillers like “The Voyeurs” to Sam Levinson‘s take on teen drama in “Euphoria.”

So what genre will Sweeney tackle next? How about a straight horror film? That’s what “Immaculate” is, and NEON‘s final trailer promises that it’ll be a scream …a prolonged, agonizing, near-delirious scream. Check out the trailer below to see what we mean by that.
Here’s an official synopsis for “Immaculate,” courtesy of NEON:
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.
Along with Sweeney, “Immaculate” also stars Álvaro Mortre, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli, and Simona Tabasco.
Michael Mohan directs “Immaculate,” his second project with Sweeney after 2021’s “The Voyeurs.” Andrew Lobel writes the film’s script. Sweeney leads producers on the film with Teddy Schwartzman, David Bernard, Jonathan Davino, and Michael Heimler.
“Immaculate” has a lot of buzz coming out of its SXSW 2024 world premiere earlier this month, particularly its final act. Is it this year’s first great horror film? It’s time to find out as the movie hits theaters today. Check out the final “holy hell” trailer for “Immaculate” below.
