Immaculate

Cecilia, en troende kvinne, blir ønsket hjertelig velkommen til den billedskjønne italienske landsbygda, der hun blir tilbudt en ny rolle i et berømt kloster. Men det blir klart for Cecilia at det nye hjemmet bærer på mørke og gruoppvekkende hemmeligheter.

Immaculate is a 2024 American horror film directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel. It stars Sydney Sweeney (who also produced), Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli, Dora Romano, Giorgio Colangeli, and Simona Tabasco.

Sister Mary sneaks into a superior's bedroom at night and steals keys to escape through the locked gates of a Catholic convent. Four hooded figures capture her and break her leg, then knock her unconscious. Mary later wakes up in a coffin and is buried alive.

After surviving a drowning in a frozen lake and being declared dead for seven minutes, young novice Sister Cecilia, who turned to Christianity at an early age, becomes convinced God had saved her for a purpose. She receives an invitation from Father Sal Tedeschi to join a convent in Italy that tends to dying nuns. Cecilia becomes a nun.

Cecilia befriends Sister Gwen and is struck by certain oddities, such as an elder nun having cross-shaped scars on the soles of her feet. The convent's chapel houses a relic, a Holy Nail that was used to crucify Jesus. After having nightmares of hooded figures, Cecilia is shocked to learn that she is pregnant, even though she is a virgin. The convent's inhabitants begin to treat her as the next Virgin Mary, with many proclaiming the child is a "blessing".
