Sydney Sweeney opens up about shooting 'Immaculate': 'I am a big fan of all types of horror genres'

There is no stopping for Sydney Sweeney. Following her breakout star of the year title, Sweeney has bagged many projects. The actor is currently garnering rave reviews for her recent release, 'Immaculate', which premiered at SXSW Film Festival 2024. Recently, Sydney shared more insights into her latest film, revealing what went on behind the scenes while filming the horror flick.

'I just wanted to be drenched in blood'

Sydney Sweeney opened up about some of her requests while she was filming 'Immaculate'. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor revealed her one big wish while shooting the project, for which she also donned producer's hat.

“My big thing was that, by the end of the movie, I just wanted to be drenched in blood. I love those moments where, at the end of the film, you have the female badass that just went through the wringer and takes it all at the end.”

She added, "I am a big fan of all types of horror genres, and I really wanted something that had a bit of a mixture of everything. I love jump scares, so I pushed for a lot of jump scares in the movie. Mike likes a lot of psychological thrillers, so a lot of the longer, more thrilling psychological shots were from him. So it was just a mixture of all of our favourite loves from horror films and then creatively what's fun, interesting, and exciting and pushes the boundaries to do."
