After White Lotus and Euphoria, Sydney Sweeney is back on screen with a horror feature, Immaculate.

After making its debut in cinemas on March 22, 2024, the movie makes a digital release this month. The spine-chilling psychological horror follows Sweeney playing a nun who finds out that she's a living nightmare when she finds herself unnaturally pregnant.

The good news for horror fans who have missed the movie in theaters is that the movie released digitally on April 16, 2024. It will also be available to watch on Blu-Ray and DVD starting June 11, 2024.

Gear up for a spine-chilling story from the comfort of home, with Immaculate now available to watch through digital purchase.


What is Immaculate about? Plot details explored

The movie follows Sydney Sweeney as Sister Cecilia, an American nun, who is transferred to a convent in the Italian countryside.

While she's at the convent, she discovers that the place is fostering some dangerous and horrific secrets. Things get more eerie when Cecilia, who is a virgin, becomes pregnant.

With the belief in immaculate conception harbored by the religious order, Cecilia finds herself grappling with the haunting suspicion that there's some sinister force behind her seemingly impossible pregnancy.

Unlike any stereotypical religious horror feature seen in the horror genre, the movie is not loaded with theological subtexts and delivers a good thrill with a solid storyline.


Box office success and digital release dates

Immaculate originally premiered at SXSW and then made its theatrical debut on March 22, 2024.

The movie was immediately a box-office success, grossing over $12 million at the domestic box office in its opening and is now headed for a digital release.

It's expected to be one of the highest-grossing films of the year and will go down in history as one of the most box-office successful horror features of recent times.

Immaculate is already available for digital purchase and rental and will soon be on Blu-Ray and DVD starting June 11.

Directed by Michael Mohan, the movie is produced by show star Sweeney alongside her finacée Jonathan Davino and written by Andrew Lobel.


Sydney Sweeney in Immaculate

Sydney Sweeney is leading the cast as Sister Cecilia. Talking about her attachment to the project with Variety, she said:

“So the script has been around for 10 years — I auditioned for it when I was 16. And it was a very different draft. I called the writer, Andrew Lobel, and got the clean, original draft, then reworked it to fit who I am today, keeping a lot of the same themes and storylines.
"And one of the biggest ones that carried over was something innately in the project that, sadly, is still a topic of discussion today.”

In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, from 2022 when Euphoria season 2 was airing and social media was filled with memes of Sydney Sweeney‘s terrified expressions with fans claiming that she needed to make a horror feature, she said:

“I lalready had the script so I was really excited to see everybody’s reactions to Euphoria season two and everybody being like, ‘A horror film! Give us a horror film!' I was like, ‘Just you wait! I have something in store for you.’ I held onto it for a long time.”

Sweeney had initially auditioned for the project a decade ago, but the movie was never made.

After her success with Euphoria which brought her into the limelight, she decided to get into producing and bring back the movie alongside director Michael Mohan and writer Andrew Lobel.


Others starring in the psychological horror

Along with Sweeney, Immaculate also stars Simona Tabasco from The White Lotus, Álvaro Morte from The Wheel of Time, Benedetta Porcaroli from Baby, Giorgio Colangeli and Dora Romano.
