Sydney Sweeney is a pregnant nun in this horror film set in a monastery setting
Sydney Sweeney likes to dive deep into the pool of genre films and we’re all better for it. Of romantic comedies already under her belt, as well an erotic thrillerand soon a superhero film, from which she is now using the old classic monastery horror. The first trailer of her new film Spotless was released on Thursday and it seems like a creepy and weird throwback to horror films of the past.
In SpotlessSweeney plays a nun who mysteriously becomes pregnant. This is concerning for at least a few different reasons, including the fact that she doesn’t know how it happened, and that the priests at her monastery declare that her conception must be a miracle and that the child she bears must be supernaturally blessed . if not the return of Christ himself. But it seems not everyone thinks this child will be a gift from heaven.
The trailer is full of bad vibes, including gruesome images of red-masked figures in robes and violent encounters that prove a conspiracy is afoot. The trailer also contains plenty of sleaze, a touchstone of the monastery horror genre and not surprisingly from the director of the fun and underrated erotic thriller The Voyeurs from 2021 – which also starred Sweeney.
Spotless will be released in theaters on March 22.
