Michael Mohan directs it from a script written by Andrew Lobel. It will debut at SXSW next week, with NEON following up with a theatrical release on March 22nd.

Immaculate Synopsis

Sydney Sweeney (Anyone But You, Euphoria, The White Lotus) 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.

Man, Immaculate is wrapping up a whirlwind few months for Sweeney. She had Anyone But You open in December and saw it become a surprise hit; she had Madame Web come out a month ago that everyone thought would be big, but it wasn't; she hosted SNL, starred in a Rolling Stones music video, and now has Immaculate coming in a couple of weeks. This feels like when Jennifer Lawrence was everywhere after Hunger Games came out, and out of nowhere, that horror film she had filmed, House At The End Of The Street, came out. Hopefully, this one is way better than that.

Sweeney can bring it for sure, but she has yet to have that big arrival moment. Her resume is full besides that at this point. She has big TV debuts, she has indie films, and she now has a modest box-office hit. All she is missing is opening a smaller film like this and getting it to a bigger gross than expected because she is starring in it. Can Immaculate be that? We shall find out on March 22nd.
