Michael Mohan Latest Celebrity News & Gossip

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic Sydney Sweeney’s had a huge 2024 so far — and her most startling act of the year is still ahead. In the early weeks of the year, her Sony Pictures romantic comedy with Glen Powell, “Anyone But You,” showed remarkable staying power at the box office, eventually building from a tepid early result amid holiday competition to over $200 million at the global box office on the strength of word-of-mouth.

2024 didn’t get off to a great start for Hollywood rising star Sydney Sweeney with the dismal critical response to “Madame Web.” But that’s one lull for the young actress in three straight years of ascendant stardom.

Stephen Saito Ever since resurrecting the erotic thriller with the respectably lurid 2021 drama “The Voyeurs,” it was clear Sydney Sweeney and director Michael Mohan were interested in second comings. So it was only a matter of time before they’d turn their attention to Christ himself in “Immaculate,” an enjoyable if uneven horror film cut from a slightly different cloth than its religious brethren with a captivating turn from its star as a virginal nun whose pregnancy inspires questions beyond the health of the child, and a hell of an ending.

In the realm of religious horror, one filled with tales of divine terror, Immaculate emerges as the latest contender. Yet despite its promising setup within the shadowy confines of an Italian nunnery and a cast led by Sydney Sweeney, Álvaro Morte, Benedetta Porcaroli and Simona Tabasco, the film struggles to carve out a niche for itself. Directed by Michael Mohan and written by Andrew Lobel, the movie treads familiar ground, recycling familiar elements without delivering the novel twists, deeper insights or genuine horror in a genre that thrives on the exploration of faith’s darker dimensions.

Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large Fresh off her recent stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” Sydney Sweeney made her way to Austin and SXSW for the world premiere of her new religious horror film “Immaculate” — and on Tuesday night, she had the crowd screaming (and laughing at their own reactions) at the Paramount Theatre. The jump scares, in particular, had the entire theater jumping — and then giggling at their own fear. “Immaculate” leans into horror but also has plenty of moments of dark humor.

William Earl administrator Sydney Sweeney is one of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but fans are sure to be shocked by her wild new horror movie that pushes her creativity in front of and behind the camera to new extremes. “Immaculate” is the third project that director Michael Mohan and Sweeney have collaborated on, after the 2018 series “Everything Sucks!” and the 2021 thriller “The Voyeurs.” Their newest creative vision is a project filled with twists, blood and a surprising amount of horniness for a movie set at an Italian convent. Sweeney plays Cecilia, an American nun who transfers to Italy and is forced to face a lot of dark secrets hidden in the walls of the gorgeous nunnery.

Neon is on such a tear this year. After the Oscar-nominated success of “Anatomy Of A Fall,” “Perfect Days,” “Robot Dreams,” and the critically acclaimed “Ferrari,” and new films like “Mother’s Instinct” on the way, the indie company shows no signs of slowing down.

Jaden Thompson In Season 2 of “Euphoria,” Sydney Sweeney‘s Cassie famously proclaims that she has “never, ever been happier.” It seems the same cannot be said for her new character Cecilia in the upcoming psychological horror film “Immaculate,” which is set to release in theaters March 22. Directed by Michael Mohan, Sweeney stars as a devoutly religious woman who moves into a haunted Italian convent in the countryside, which seems picturesque on the outside. The newly released trailer from Neon reveals that Cecilia will undoubtedly experience some “suffering” while dealing with a mysterious pregnancy.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Neon has acquired North American rights to “Immaculate,” a religious thriller starring Sydney Sweeney. Sweeney, the star of “Euphoria” and “The White Lotus,” also produced the film with Black Bear and Middle Child Pictures. Neon is planning a theatrical release on a yet-to-be-determined date.

Amazon got into the softcore porn biz. The digital giant already lets us order a toilet plunger while watching prestige TV.

When optometrist Pippa (Sydney Sweeney) and musician Thomas (Justice Smith) snag a gorgeous apartment in Montreal, the successful young couple can’t believe their luck, and their excitement quickly turns to curiosity when they discover that their swanky new apartment comes with a full view of their eccentric and attractive across-the-street neighbors (Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Ben Hardy).

Nick Schager Film CriticA training-wheels mashup of “Rear Window” and any number of ’90s erotic thrillers, “The Voyeurs” regurgitates musty ideas for much of its limp 122-minute run time. The story of a Montreal couple who becomes unreasonably consumed with watching the randy across-the-street neighbors, writer-director Michael Mohan’s film plays like rehashed leftovers cooked up for young viewers who’ve never seen any of its superior inspirations.

As the idiom goes, good fences make good neighbors, but sometimes people need to learn that lesson the hard way. So it goes for the couple at the center of Amazon Prime Video‘s latest original movie, “The Voyeurs,” whose curiosity about their neighbors across the street leads to dire consequences for all involved.
