Following a near-death experience, Cecilia converts to Christianity and is invited to join a seemingly idyllic convent in the Italian countryside. But the young novitiate soon begins to suspect that an unholy conspiracy is at work in the community—one that has designs on Sister Cecilia herself.

The unholy spawn of Rosemary’s Baby, Cronenbergian body horror, Italian giallo, and nunsploitation cinema, this lean and mean film wears its blood-splattered influences on its white-robed sleeve. A visceral shocker fleshed out by the politics of bodily autonomy, Immaculate is sharp and to the point.
