Say what you want about the newly released horror shocker Immaculate, but it seems the studio promoting the film knows its audience. The Sydney Sweeney-led and produced Nunsploitation movie takes place in a dreary and disgusting convent, where Sweeneys character soon finds herself pregnant despite never having had sex.
With a premise like that, naturally, Immaculate is drawing ire from Christian and conservative communities. The very end of the film in particular seems to be striking a nerve. Rather than issue any sort of statement or apology, Neon the studio behind the project has decided to lean in to the controversy as a part of their marketing strategy. Over the weekend of the films release, several tweet reactions went viral decrying the anti-Christian nature of the film.
Libs saw how the anti-woke crowd embraced Sydney Sweeney as their new darling and right away had to shove her in this blasphemous, satanic, feminist, pro-abortion, anti-life movie degrading Christians, read one especially viral tweet. This movie also debases Mary, mother of Christ!
After one user said they needed to see the quote on a t-shirt, the official Neon account obliged:

NEON (@neonrated) March 23, 2024 Another viral review was used to create a poster that was shared to the official Neon and Immaculate accounts. Diabolical, sacrilegious, pure evil grossly offensive, it read. It is profane and has a third act that spits in the face of all that is holy. Justevil.
The caption for the post reads, Christian Twitter has spoken. A post shared to Neons Instagram Stories dubbed the film, The most blasphemous youve ever seen.

Another post highlights a quote from the film, Pray for us sinners, with the caption, An unholy and unhinged feast of pure terror.
