Cecilia (Sydney Sweeney) knew that God had a plan for her after a childhood miracle resuscitation after drowning. She plans to take her formal vows as a nun in the Order of Our Lady of Sorrows outside Rome, which is now a retirement home for old nuns. But it turns out Cecilia figures into the plans of earthly figures too, as a virgin vessel for the Second Coming.
Of the two pregnant nun movies I've watched this month, I think Immaculate is the more successful story. I hesitate to call it original but it is not shackled to an existing IP and **SPOILERS FOLLOW** at least has the guts to claim she's actually birthing Jesus 2.0, not the Antichrist. **END SPOILERS** I'm not familiar with Sweeney's body of work; the only other thing I've seen her in was Madame Web, but she seems to be nailing the wide-eyed innocent role.
Like I said, the story is really derivative and you've likely seen everything in it somewhere else but if you just want background noise for a Halloween party, it's not terrible. It's streaming on Hulu.
