Immaculate star Sydney Sweeney unravels the enigmatic conclusion of the horror film, shedding light on the gruesome birth scene and Cecilia’s violent rampage.

In Immaculate, Sweeney embodies Cecilia, an American nun ensnared in a sinister plot within a remote Italian convent. Cecilia grapples with her inexplicable pregnancy, uncovering the macabre experiments conducted by a mad scientist priest using the nuns’ bodies. The film crescendos with Cecilia’s desperate bid for freedom, culminating in a bloody showdown and a mysterious birthing scene.

Despite persistent inquiries, Sweeney remains reticent about the nature of Cecilia’s offspring. She hints at the presence of an “animatronic thing” in the film but opts to leave its appearance to the audience’s imagination. Sweeney discloses that multiple takes were filmed, but the decision was made to withhold revealing shots, preserving the ambiguity surrounding the creature’s identity.

The intense birthing scene, featuring a visceral scream from Sweeney, was captured in a single spontaneous take, amplifying the raw emotion of the moment. Sweeney attributes Cecilia’s violent rampage to her realization of the necessity to take matters into her own hands, culminating in a chilling confessional scene with the Cardinal.

As both the star and producer of Immaculate, Sweeney finds gratification in the audience’s visceral reactions to the film’s blood-soaked climax. With laughter, she recalls the cheering from audiences at premieres, underscoring the impact of Immaculate’s shocking conclusion.

Immaculate, starring Sydney Sweeney alongside Álvaro Morte, Simona Tabasco, Benedetta Porcaroli, Giorgio Colangeli, and Dora Romano, is currently captivating audiences in theaters.
