Sydney Sweeney shares a scary photo of her blood covered face as she promotes her new horror film Immaculate: 'Suffering is love'

Sydney Sweeney gave her fans a shock on social media on Friday. 

The actress, 26, who has been in New York City enjoying time with her fiancé Jonathan Davino, is trying her hand at horror for her latest project.

The Emmy nominee was screaming in a photo of her blood-covered face shared on Instagram.

The words 'Suffering Is Love' were written across the photo.

'@immaculatemovie opens exclusively in theaters March 22nd,' she penned, advising her fans to catch one of the 'sneak screenings on March 13th. Get tickets now.'

The Euphoria star headlined the project about an American nun named Cecilia, who joins an illustrious convent in the Italian countryside.

'God saved me for a reason,' says the devout sister, 'I'm still searching for what that reason is.' 

While all appears to be picture perfect, behind the cloistered walls of the abbey, dark forces are at work.

A fellow nun is killed and soon Cecilia discovers she is pregnant.

'It's a miracle,' a priest tells her after nuns use an ultrasound machine, which just happens to be at the convent, to confirm her condition. 'You are with child.' 

'Out of all the women in the world, why did HE choose me?' a baffled Cecilia asks. 

While some believe she is following in the footsteps of the Virgin Mary, others are concerned she may be carrying an ungodly being in her womb.

Frightening and often torturous events begin to take place in which the young nun's faith and body are tested.

'Just in time for Easter with the fam,' one fan joked after seeing the photo. The movie opens the weekend before the holiday. 

'Jump scare sister,' penned another. 

The actress, who also produced the film, made it a family affair.

She flew both of her grandmother's to Italy for production and gave them small parts in her first horror movie.

'They were, like, little old nuns in there,' she told Jimmy Fallon recently on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

The star has referred to the project as a psychological thriller and teased she got 'unhinged' while on camera. 

'But it’s also beautiful. I really wanted to make sure that it was a beautifully shot horror film because we were filming in such a beautiful location,' she told Deadline.

'Rome is stunning, so I wanted to do the locations justice.'
