A peek into the story of Sydney Sweeney starrer, Immaculate and the origins of the horror thriller&#039;s riveting plot as well as other tidbits.

Is Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Immaculate’ Based on a True Story?

It is difficult to peel one’s eyes from the screen when the ever-so-stunning
Sydney Sweeney [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/sydney-sweeney/] is in the frame.
However, when the Spokane native presents as Cecilia in her upcoming horror
thriller Immaculate, viewers may find themselves squinting with dread. After
astonishing everyone through Euphoria’s melodrama, the 26-year-old has been
genre-hopping by dabbling in rom-coms, comic book movies, and now horror. While
this is not the first time Sweeney will give the terrifying genre a swing, the
plot of Immaculate is quite unusual. 

Here is the story behind the plot that the upcoming flick follows. 


THE ORIGINS OF IMMACULATE

The plot of Immaculate is a work of fiction penned by screenwriter Andrew Lobel.
The upcoming flick appears to be one of his biggest works, besides a past
steeped in writing short film scripts and gaming narratives. Lobel’s LinkedIn
touts him to be a specialist in ‘world-building’ for horror, fantasy, sci-fi,
etc. So the story of the woman Sweeney will portray has sprung from this
author’s imagination and not the real world.

The screenplay by Lobel traces the journey of Cecilia, a deeply spiritual woman
stepping into a fresh adventure at a seemingly perfect convent. Tucked away in
the enchanting Italian countryside, which is also where the flick was filmed

she is initially enchanted by it all. Then, her newfound harmony starts to
unravel when she stumbles upon disturbing and sinister truths hidden beneath the
flawless exterior of this convent.
