I'm like you with religious horror in a way as I tend not to watch. Going to check this out though. Great video as always 😊💜🐾👋👍

You are like the only content creator I watch that can organically interject their promotion (ads). I actually appreciate that.

[@Lean_Dad]

A shill is still a shill.

[@areshorror]

This one was a pleasant surprise for me. Had no plans on checking it out until my friend wanted to see it, and to say the least, the final act brought the movie to a place I never expected it to go. Extremely grotesque, brutal, and the prolonged blood-curdling screams, of course. That last 30 seconds literally made me gasp. It definitely sold it for me.

[@alecempire999]

Yo Cody, I loved this film but I have to say that unfortunately the theater experience I had was pretty awful. Believe it or not, some lady brought her three children to this! These kids were probably between 7 and 12 years old. Who the hell brings kids to a movie like this? So these kids constantly get up and run down the stairs, switch seats, mom has to tell them to sit down and the worst part is that part at the end which is a close up of her screaming as you know was accompanied by the little boy laughing and the little girl saying "mommy what is she gonna do to the baby? She's mean".....dude I'm still shocked and adult would have that bad of judgment. Sorry rant over lol

[@laquitasmith6774]

So so ANNOYING!! That sucks you had to deal with that Ruins the movie experience on every level!

[@zoekrishel6677]

WTF? So inappropriate for kids AND obnoxious! I would have complained and/or left.

[@laquitasmith6774]

I will never understand how ppl don’t see or care when they ruin other people’s movie experiences It’s beyond rude!

[@leafisactuallyaplantyk]

That sounds awful :/ When I went to watch it there were only two other couples there. One couple was sitting behind me constantly coughing, and the other couple was a few rows in front of me, they kept talking loudly and making out, and when they weren't doing that the guy was on his phone... I could see his screen, he was exchanging nudes with some other girl -_-

[@caleighhraee]

How is a 7 year old even running around somewhere? Parents these days…

[@BrandonJames2016]

Personally loved this movie from start to finish. I liked the ending too. Sidney Sweeny gave the best performance of her career. I loved the third act sm like she did what she did in the third trimester of pregnancy that’s so impressive. Saw this movie when I had just finished watching late night with the devil so both these movies were bangers to me. 2024 has started with some awful stinkers but these movies have started the good. Especially as someone who likes religious horror I was so invested into what was happening with the story. As a catholic I had no issues with this movie.

I wonder, did Cecilia survive after the movie ended if Tedeschi had cut into her gut? I assume that even if she did, the other priests would have caught her before she managed to find civilization. The movie didn't make it clear if she was really out of danger.

[@rayvonvelez3129]

It was aight for me. I never seen this girl's movies before. But it didn't feel like a great horror movie like all the trailers were saying. By the end it felt like a action film. I did like how she defeated the bad guys tho. Was pretty cool and gnarly. It was decent to meh movie for me, cool ending tho.

[@JenMistress]

Like I've said before about Madam Web. The cast, while most of Hollywood now a days likes to bash criticism, the cast of Madam Web owned up to it. That little jester makes me willing to check out to see what they could do with a better script. And this does indeed sound like it is the case. So I am willing to check this movie out. Thank you, Cody.

[@froydian9185]

Just came back from watching it. It has been a year since I’ve been to the movies.. I’m that hypercritical. This was a very pleasant watch. The ending was WILD and love the ballsy move.

[@angeltread]

[@weirdguy1495]

So I feel like there's a religious horror movie from a couple years ago you should definitely watch that tackles some of the same themes here called Saint Maud. If you're cool with uncomfortable slow burns, this will be perfect for you.

[@Acuteism]

Second this, great film

[@seanyonthemic]

Based on your review, I’m definitely more curious about it. It got on my radar when Sean Chandler had a shirt on it…. I’m curious but I have reservations as a person of Christian faith and the knowledge of the concept of the film’s subject matter. I’m afraid of where it’s going to go. Lol Curious but torn

[@jacindaellison3363]

Hey Cody! If you want a recommendation for a religious movie, maybe you could try Robert Mitchum's Night of the Hunter. No exorcism, just a serial killer disguised as a pastor who is trying to obtain stolen money from a hanged man's wife and two children.

[@jordanmerchant8757]

I could be wrong but I'm a Catholic and I don't think nuns or clergy take a vow to live in squalor. I think that's just cinema. They do take vows of poverty, celibacy and others but I don't think this movie should be taken seriously as a reflection of the Catholic faith. But I could be wrong

[@milkyuuu6170]

You should go see it! To be honest, I did not expect anything since from the trailer, I thought I’d be like every other horror nun movie out there. But I was bored with my friend so we watched at the cinema. I’ve seen a few films with Sydney Sweeney so was a bit of a fan also. I’ll say that this is one of my top horror movies I have watched. I was invested from the first to the last scene of the movie. You can see the main character go from normal to crazy and on survival mode at the end. And how much anxiety that movie gave me 🙂‍↕️. I would say it might not be everyone’s taste but It definitely left my mouth open.

[@michellewaterhouse6361]

Thanks for your thoughtful review and I'm right there with you about enjoying the slow burn of the first two acts. I disagree about the motivation behind the ending though. As a metaphor for the church's control over women's bodies, this was an abortion in a way that she was not allowed to have after being forced into pregnancy. It seemed like it had more layers to it which I appreciated. Great review.

[@josephonstott7060]

Absolutely loved this film. I’m not a fan of religious horror myself and agree with you on the cliches. But its approach on social commentary here feels refreshing. This third act was also very much my Barbarian. Maybe it’s because of the marketing but, while a damn good movie, the third act/second half of Barbarian didn’t wow me like it did others. With immaculate I was engaged and found myself talking to the screen by the third act. This was an early screening and packed so my audience was engaged and walked out applauding. I didn’t care too much for the first two acts, one scene felt stolen from the original omen. But I didn’t hate it either. I’m actually gonna go to the theaters again soon for a rewatch to see how these first two acts fair out now that I understand and know the ending. Great review!

[@tarantulasarecool]

Same dude! I don’t like watching horror movies so I wouldn’t watch this but I haven’t watched any other of Sweeney’s stuff except madame web! (& yes I loved it haha!)

[@Fire91ful]

My gf and i constantly complained at the nun nudity. No modesty. She knows the actress and told me, 100% shes going to show her Nipples, i said yeah maybe a nude ahower scene. Nope whole movie nips out. She never tried to kill the baby beforethe end. Had plenty of chances. She had zero guards. 9 months pregnant, killing people left and right. And found a secret exit to a labyrinth of tunnels. The whole movie was made with the ending in mind. My gf and i walked out very unhappy with the whole movie.

[@robertbrunello]

I just watched this movie and it exceeded my expectations!!

[@Nicholasmcmath-cr1xl]

Great review Cody and I seeing this movie mostly for Sydney Sweeny

[@danielneil237]

Overall this movie was just okay but hilarious at one moment and not scary. The minute the priest said this nail has the blood and tissue of Jesus Christ on it being part of your pregnancy. I bursted out laughing. So much is also borrowed from the terrible first Nun film and more. This subgenre is becoming self parody at this point. The ending also didn't take things far enough and kind of got afraid to truly go all in to make it truly disturbing.

[@tayfun6226]

Oh wait what. Now i get it.. so he put the thing in?

[@danielneil237]

​@@tayfun6226 I persume he did off-screen. Still, that's so over the top that it's the blood and tissue of Jesus. It completely took me out of it. Just as I started to get invested after a bland first act that was just loud noises and lame jump scares.

[@khadizaahmed8989]

​@tayfun6226 I think it's more like he took the blood, tissue and bone of Jesus and somehow synthesised DNA which he then used to artificially impregnate her

I been watching this channel for a while and I won’t say ik Codys stances , but he’s made it clear on the few things in movies he doesn’t care for . So I’m gonna read between the lines 😂

Weird how I've been reading Clive Barker's Weaveworld that has a character called Immacolata in it, then this film comes out.

[@maxdcruz87]

Just watched this earlier today along with Late Night with the Devil. I really enjoyed both movies. Immaculate was pretty awesome, definitely felt hints of Rosemary's Baby but they are not to much alike.

[@BTBAM310]

Really liked this one. Sydney Sweeney was great. The gore was excellent, if they used CGI at all it wasn’t noticeable. The jump scares weren’t as egregious as I feared they would be. Only minor complaint would be that the final act was a bit rushed.

Good news I’m going to get with my college professor and write a movie script and send it off to filmmakers. I’ll send you a copy Cody before to see what you think. I got quite a few ideas.

[@jordandaher9652]

I assume the bad reviews have a lot to do with the ending But I thought it was ballsy of them to do and worked given how everything went down within the film. Couple of jump scares and tension builders that worked for me And a very metal final act. GF and I both gave it an 8/10

[@Migicat2408]

This movie was really scary in concept, but execution was kinda meh. 6.5/10... Spoiler for the final scene! Turn back now you have been warned.... If what disturbs you is the character giving birth and then cuting the cord with her teeth, then yeah, i can see that. But if u dont like that she killed the baby, i dont see why thats off-putting...wasnt it revealed that the baby inside her was artificially put inside her and is sposed to be like a demon baby or the devil? The baby/monster wasnt even crying at the end so that conveys to the audience that it isnt human and we should not feel bad for it

[@FreyjaJ]

I had no issue with the ending, but I'm not a parent (and, I agree, that baby/monster was not human). It seems like the people who have the most trouble watching that particular scene are parents, which is why Cody mentioned that.

[@politefan8141]

Given the recent IVF ruling, it seems many conservatives would be on board with the ending. However, there just may be a number of people who would find the subject matter off-putting even though they avoided showing it on camera.

[@Migicat2408]

@politefan8141 really? I didn't consider that. I'm conservative and indid not consider the political significance...I think if they showed the baby it would have ruined the audience imagination
