IMMACULATE - Blessed Be The New Mother?

Movies featuring nuns can be tricky, and usually it involves them being part of something dark more than the religious type of stories. And many would be too sacrilegious with their portrayal but not deeply rooted with the catholic practices and institution. However, when I watched the psychological horror IMMACULATE starring Sydney Sweeney, it had something that brings a thrilling story but not going overboard (except for the gore and violence) because it has a solid plot.

The story is about Sister Cecilla (Sweeney) who traveled to a isolated convent in Italy to complete her vows and provide service to the congregation. However, she observed strange things happening to the convent and its leaders who have a sketchy motive which are still a secret. And with an unexplainable turn of events, she is found out to be pregnant without being with a man, which makes it an "Immaculate Conception."

This made her somewhat similar to the Mother Mary with the same predicament yet still remains a mystery how it happened. From there things go crazy and creepy and she also discovers the secret of the congregation, the people who ran them and the victims that are trapped inside the convent.
