'During the final scene of Immaculate, I'm pretty sure a girl in the front few rows of my screening threw up,' shared another user.

A third said, 'At the theater watching Immaculate and the couple in front of us started throwing up.'

'Y'all I'm watching Immaculate right now and I am not strong enough for this. I'm so nauseous, this is too much for me,' read a fourth tweet. 'If you're even slightly squeamish I do not recommend this movie at all.'

'Do not watch Immaculate,' warned a different person. 'I had to leave the screening a few times.'

'The rosary/nail scene from Immaculate almost made me puke,' shared someone else.

Another viewer said he was 'ready to pass out and throw up' by the end of the movie, but added, 'I need to see it again.'

One reviewer on Rotten Tomatoes wrote, 'A completely terrifying and original horror film with a jaw-dropping ending, led by a wild and electrifying performance from Sydney Sweeney.

'While it doesn't break too much new ground in the religious horror sub-genre, a powerhouse performance from Sydney Sweeney and an unforgettable climax make Immaculate well worth your time,' said another. 

'The filmmaking is conspicuous and stale, and bogged down in tepid jumpscares that often feel hollow,' slammed a third. 

A fourth review read, 'A screenplay that is so devoid of details and payoffs that it is impossible to genuinely provoke the conversations it may want to have, despite a pretty solid final scene.' 

Many devout Christians have slammed the film. One outraged viewer described it as 'diabolical, sacrilegious, pure evil, and grossly offensive' on X

However, Neon, the production team behind the horror movie, has not shied away from the backlash - using ome of the most negative responses about it as parts of its marketing ploy

While discussing the film and the controversial scene with Variety afterwards, the Euphoria star said she was determined to 'push the boundaries' and that she didn't even rehearse it.

'I love finding places that I didn't know I could unlock – pushing the boundaries and the limits of what people expect to see from me,' explained the actress. 

'I wish that I had a formulaic answer for how I did it. But whenever a director calls "action," it's just like a switch.

'I wish that I had a formulaic answer for how I did it. But whenever a director calls "action," it's just like a switch,' she said. 'I don't like to rehearse; I don't plan what is going to happen'

She added: 'And I allow all of Sydney's thoughts and feelings and emotions to disappear. And I am now whatever character I'm playing – I'm Cecilia at the moment'

'And I allow all of Sydney's thoughts and feelings and emotions to disappear. And I am now whatever character I'm playing – I'm Cecilia at the moment.

'I don't like to rehearse; I don't plan what is going to happen. What you saw (in the film's final moments) was the first take.' 

She added: 'I always want to do something new. I don't want to do the same thing over and over again. 

'It's a lot of the draw, character discovery – I love Cecilia's journey, and I loved the emotional trauma that she goes through.

'And being in the horror genre is fun, because in that genre, there's no limitations or boundaries. 

'I always find it so funny when people pick apart a horror film's rules, or its storytelling.

'I'm like, "It's a horror film. You're just having fun." It's not a movie for the Oscars; you know that going into it.

'We want to create something good, but it's fun having characters that can go to such extreme, absurd places, and people don't question it.'
