Summary

"Immaculate" had its world premiere at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival, where it garnered strong reviews for its dark atmosphere and gut-wrenching performance by Sydney Sweeney. Director Michael Mohan, who previously collaborated with Sweeney on "The Voyeurs," was kind enough to spend some time talking with us about the birth, design, execution, and release of his latest film. How did Giallo films influence his directing style when making this film? What challenges did he face? Will he work with Sydney Sweeney again? Please be sure to check out the film, which is opening this weekend from NEON. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
