An American nun embarks on a new journey when she joins a remote convent in the Italian countryside. However, her warm welcome quickly turns into a living nightmare when she discovers her new home harbours a sinister secret and unspeakable horrors.
My thoughts:
Sydney Sweeney, who usually portrays highly sexualized characters (for obvious reasons), takes a detour from her typecast as a wide-eyed bride of Christ. The trope of an American embarking on a sinister adventure in Europe is not exactly groundbreaking, but the Italian setting is perfect for this thriller. The convent is claustrophobic powder keg with its own hierarchy and secrets. Rivalries and jealousies boil hot in a closed off all-female group. Whether you are carrying Satan's baby or God's, the end result is distressingly similar.
