Sydney Sweeney religious horror film Immaculate is very similar to Rosemary’s Baby – but it crosses the only line that Rosemary’s Baby refused to cross. Immaculatevery similar Rosemary’s Babyrevolves around an unhappy young woman being targeted by a satanic cult and impregnated by the Antichrist. While Rosemary’s Baby revolves around an unsuspecting tenant living in a creepy old New York City apartment building, harboring some very dark secrets, Immaculate revolves around a young nun staying in a beautiful Italian convent who harbors some very dark secrets.

Both Sweeney’s sister Cecilia and Mia Farrow’s Rosemary Woodhouse come to suspect that their unborn child is something unholy that Devil worshipers want to get into their hands. Both Rosemary’s Baby and Immaculate build to a thrilling climactic sequence in which the cult arrives at the protagonist’s baby and she desperately tries to fend them off. But the end of Rosemary’s Baby stopped crossing a truly horrible line, and Immaculate goes beyond that line to a deeply disturbing final scene.

Rosemary couldn’t kill her baby

In the final scene of Rosemary’s BabyRosemary finds the hidden passage that allowed the cult to enter her apartment and take her baby. She is horrified to find the cultists throwing a party to celebrate the birth of her savior, the Antichrist.
