Had higher hopes for this, definitely will not see it again.

Clearly the team only knows how to shoot a trailer and not a film. It feels like pieces and pieces glued together and the whole thing doesn’t really flow well. Too much could be delved deeper into but somehow they just leave it that way - broad theme with few details to it. Ending is abrupt and confusing…next time when you let a protagonist scream like the world is collapsing please make sure they don’t do it for a whole minute. It’s tiring for the audience to even stay focused.

Despite the best efforts of DoP Elisha Christian to create a striking visual identity, the film ultimately brings little to well-trodden cinematic ground, even in its hell-for-leather finale.

Sweeney ably carries the film on that level, though there are beats courtesy of director Michael Mohan and screenwriter Andrew Lobel as likely to elicit uncomfortable chuckles from the audience as fear.

Immaculate doesn’t try to reinvent anything but instead cheerfully embraces the familiar, which is part of what makes the movie enjoyable.
