I didn't hate Immaculate.

Actually, it was amazing.

The camera work, lighting, and music all set the tension beautifully.

The effects were bloody and bone-snapping yet still gave a sense of grace.

And the performances were superb. Each nun and priest played their part very well. And of course, Sydney Sweeney was *Immaculate*

I haven't seen any of Michael Mohan's other work, but I know about The Voyeurs, and I was honestly expecting a Michael Mohan movie starring Sydney Sweeney to be... sexier?

While it isn't without nudity, the nudity generally feels appropriate for the setting and subject matter, and isn't sexual for the most part. Which was refreshing.

I have seen a few reviews saying that Immaculate only relies on jump scares for the horror, but I wouldn't quite agree with that. There is a feeling of dread that builds from the outset, and there are frightening and gory images that don't leap out at you. The portrayal of pregnancy alone is hard and dirty, not glamorous and soft like Hollywood so often portrays.

The men may have gaslit and gatekept, but Sydney Sweeney sure as hell girlbossed in this one. The ending is brutal and jarring, making me want to cheer and cry and vomit all at the same time.

Just remember the true message of Immaculate: don't f*ck with a pregnant woman, because she will literally kill you.

so anyway anyone wanna run away to the seaside for your health because you refuse to speak or move because you can't bear to exist but slowly existence begins creeping in and even becomes bearable as i start talking to you and i tell you all my secrets and deepest regrets and we share the smallest most meaningful touches in the softness of the night until the lines between us begin to blur and we don't know where i end and you begin until even our husband can't tell us apart

Notes: Not all of the films on this non-exhaustive list are entirely “about” the lives of their respective writers to a tee. I cannot vouch for the accuracy or quality of all of these movies. I’ve only seen about 75% of these films personally. And yes, I know this list is very Westernized – I’m working on it.

The Blood Of Jesus (1941)- Dir. Spencer Williams

In the rich history of low budget Black cinema, there are a few rare gems that I feel every Black person should see in their lifetime. Among them is "The Blood of Jesus" (1941), a groundbreaking film directed by the multi-talented Spencer Williams. This film lays the groundwork for Black indie films with its ghastly folk aesthetic, non linear storytelling and angelic imagery. "The Blood of Jesus" remains an essential cinematic experience even after more than eight decades.

Now why THIS film?

"The Blood of Jesus" holds a special place in the annals of Black cinema as one of the first feature-length films to be produced and directed by a Black filmmaker. This milestone not only paved the way for future filmmakers but also provided a platform for authentic representation and storytelling.

The storyline is the classic “in between heaven and hell” trope and it is executed in such a stylistically sound way that it kept me glued to the screen. It reminded me surrealism and Dadaism which was huge in white cinema and literature at the time. This is early Afrosurrealism, dare I say. We see masterful interaction with atmospheric lighting, symbolic dream sequences, and breathtaking slow dissolves. It has lots of non-linear storytelling which is seen in many different Black indie films, especially from the 90s and it was fun making this connection.

Here’s a brief synopsis:

The film tells the story of a young woman named Martha, played by Cathryn Caviness, who is accidentally shot by her husband, Razz Jackson, portrayed by Spencer Williams himself. As Martha lies between life and death, her soul is caught in a cosmic struggle between the forces of good and evil. The narrative takes the viewers on a spiritual journey, as Martha's soul encounters various characters, symbolizing the temptations and choices she must confront. The film skillfully weaves together elements of Christianity and African American spirituality, highlighting the interconnectedness of faith and culture.

Written by your favorite Black film head, welcome to Nigga Mag.
