“Y’all, I’m currently watching Immaculate and I’m not strong enough for this. I’m so sick, this is too much for me,” read a fourth tweet. “If you’re even the slightest bit squeamish, I don’t recommend this movie at all.”
“Don’t watch Immaculate,” another person warned. “I had to leave the screening a few times.”
“The rosary/nail scene from Immaculate almost made me puke,” someone else shared.
Another viewer said he was “ready to pass out and throw up” by the end of the film, but added, “I need to see it again.”

One reviewer Rotten tomatoes wrote, ‘A utterly terrifying and original horror film with a breathtaking ending, led by a wild and thrilling performance from Sydney Sweeney.
“While it doesn’t break too much new ground in the religious horror subgenre, a powerful performance from Sydney Sweeney and an unforgettable climax make Immaculate well worth your time,” said another.
“The filmmaking is conspicuous and boring, bogged down in tepid jump scares that often feel hollow,” said a third.
A fourth review read: “A screenplay so devoid of details and payoffs that it’s impossible to really provoke the conversations it might want to have, despite a pretty solid final scene.”
Many devout Christians have rejected the film. One outraged viewer described it on X as “diabolical, sacrilege, purely evil and grossly offensive.”
However, Neon, the production team behind the horror film, isn’t shying away from the backlash, using some of the most negative reactions about it as part of its marketing ploy.
The last part of the film seemed to draw the most attention as it shows Sydney’s character brutally murdering several people while they are in labor and drenched in blood.

While discussing the film and the controversial scene with Variety afterward, the Euphoria star said she was determined to “push the boundaries” and that she hadn’t even rehearsed it.
“I love finding places I didn’t know I could unlock – pushing the boundaries of what people expect from me,” the actress explains.
‘I wish I had a formal answer to how I did it. But every time a director mentions “action,” it’s like a switch.

‘I wish I had a formal answer to how I did it. But when a director mentions ‘action,’ it’s like a switch,” she said. ‘I don’t like rehearsing; I don’t plan what’s going to happen.”
She added: “And I make all of Sydney’s thoughts, feelings and emotions disappear. And I am now whatever character I’m playing – I’m Cecilia right now.”

‘I don’t like rehearsing; I don’t plan what’s going to happen. What you saw (in the final moments of the film) was the first shot.”
She added: “I always want to do something new. I don’t want to do the same thing over and over again.
“It’s very much about the appeal, exploring characters – I love Cecilia’s journey, and I loved the emotional trauma that she goes through.
“And being in the horror genre is fun because there are no limitations or boundaries in that genre.
‘I always find it so funny when people pick apart the lines of a horror film or its stories.
“I’m like, ‘It’s a horror movie. You’re just having fun.’ It’s not a movie for the Oscars; you know it going into it.
“We want to create something good, but it’s fun to have characters who can go to such extreme, absurd places, and people don’t question it.”
