Derivative and Gruesome Horror With Nuns in Italy - Immaculate review by PV
This is a so-so horror beating a well-trodden path of hokum to nowhere.
The main actress has that permanently lost little puppy innocent face so you can see why she was cast. At first that worked -but it got irritating.
It all gets silly in the end though (no spoilers; nun here!). It passes the time, and has some shocks and gruesome scenes for those who like that sort of thing.
Make no mistake, this has B-movie or STRAIGHT TO VIDEO/DVD written all over it.
If you want to watch the classic of the same genre then watch THE OMEN (1976) which is a superb film with no flab on its 90 minutes, or I suppose the earlier THE EXORCIST.
Want priests and nuns? The found footage Irish horror film DEVIL'S DOORWAY (2018 ) is great.
2 stars; the first half maybe 3.

Watchable Horror with Nuns! - Immaculate review by GI
A creepy horror tale with throwbacks to Rosemary's Baby (1968) and Suspiria (2018) and some nods to the Frankenstein story with an undercurrent theme around exploitation of women's bodies. This especially made obvious by the presence of Sydney Sweeney in the lead role, a young actress whose body is often to focus of critique. Here she plays Cecilia, a young American who joins an idyllically set convent in the Italian countryside and becomes a nun. With some trauma in her past it soon becomes apparent that she has been selected to be there and dark shenanigans are at work behind the scenes. Finding herself mysteriously pregnant she is declared a miracle and her unborn child the 'second coming'. Gradually realising all is not as it seems Cecilia has to find a new resolve to discover what is going on in the forbidden areas of the convent. There's some stomach churning violence on offer here and various horror film 'nun' tropes at work. But the narrative is neatly paced and Sweeney carries the role of the trapped and naive nun without recourse to sexual distractions. This is a watchable horror film, it does have a somewhat underwhelming end but it's better than many horror films released of late.
