Sydney Sweeney is Hollywood’s latest bombshell. She gained popularity due to the show Euphoria and the unfortunate side effect of that is she has now been unable to break herself from what I like to call the Marilyn Monroe effect. She is a gorgeous blonde that people immediately dismiss the intelligence and talent of. Last year she starred in Anyone But You, which I loved and think she did a great job in. And this year she took the leap and did something entirely different, Immaculate. Horror is a newer genre for her but I think she is built to be a scream queen, so let’s see how she does in Immaculate.

As a film it’s fine, pretty middle of the pack. There’s some decent commentary in here about how some religious people value birth over actual life. But as a horror movie the elements are a little weak. Not that the narrative itself isn’t scary, but the delivery really isn’t. The jump scares were overused, and there needed to be music or silence that helped build the tension. Overall it’s about a 6/10, it’s definitely watchable, but probably only the once. Again, it was one of those movies that had a lot of potential but a lot of the silent elements just didn’t come together.
