In my experience with horror movies, a little bit of controversy isn’t necessarily a bad thing. So when the religious-themed “Immaculate” starring Syndey Sweeney hit theaters back in March under a cloud of outrage, my interest was only piqued further.
After seeing “Immaculate” for myself, I came away seriously impressed with the movie’s sinister atmosphere, strong leading performance and its bats**t climax. However, the Michael Mohan-directed flick was also the victim of poor release timing. Just a couple of weeks later “The First Omen” landed in cinemas, with a spookily similar plot.
