‘Immaculate’ elevates the horror genre with crafted suspense and an innovative approach to storytelling. The film used some traditional religious elements as other horror films, but it manages to create a unique experience for the audience. I was not sure what to expect but I appreciated the film production and cinematography.
Instead of cliché jump scares and excessive violence, “Immaculate” sets itself apart with its crafted suspense sequences rather than predictable tactics to frighten viewers.
Sydney Sweeney’s captivating performance is the core of the film. She was convincing and showed emotional depth with her character through subtle gestures and nuanced expression. I was impressed with her work here as she elevated every scene effortlessly.
My favorite part of this movie was the cinematography. The movie was filmed in Rome and is visually stunning on camera. Each frame is meticulous and creates a beautifully haunting and eerie atmosphere that pervades throughout the film’s narrative. The editing was great as well as each scene transition seamlessly from one to another with a sinister vibe. There’s a sequence in the movie that was filmed in a real underground maze-like catacomb that I thought was very creepy and ominous.
The filmmakers’ carefully layered terror and dread with a deliberate pace that culminates in a terrifying climax at the very end. This structure created a uneasy and gripping experience on screen. The last 10 minutes of the movie was very intense!
Overall, I think this was a solid horror movie and I recommend it!
