10 Best Horror Movie Kills Of 2024
10. The Antichrist - Immaculate
Immaculate was a surprisingly visceral entry into the strangely overcrowded Pregnant Nun Horror Movie subgenre last year, and it saved the best for last with its absolute face-melter of a final scene.
In an incredible three-minute single-take sequence, Sister Cecilia (Sydney Sweeney) delivers the demonic baby she was forcibly impregnated with, the camera remaining trained on her face as she expresses clear horror at... whatever the fresh Hell (literally) she just birthed.
We never see the baby, but it's clearly something otherworldly and abominable, evidenced by its animalistic cries. And so, Cecilia surmises to do the only thing she has the power to in the situation - she grabs a huge rock nearby and smashes the damn thing to death. The End.
For anyone who still doesn't believe the hype around Sydney Sweeney as an actress, her astonishing performance in this scene cemented her as one of horror's pre-eminent Scream Queens right now, and seeing her destroy the creature she was forced to carry to term is just oh-so-satisfying.
