The Immaculate Room

In the ending of “Immaculate,” Cecilia finally escapes the horrors of the convent after setting fire to Tedeschi’s laboratory and killing him. As she makes her way through the catacombs, her water breaks, and she goes into labor, giving birth to a strange, deformed baby whose appearance and sounds suggest it is neither fully human nor normal. Cecilia’s despair and revulsion grow as she realizes that the baby embodies the horrific consequences of Tedeschi’s twisted experiments: a creature born from genes and DNA taken from the relic of Jesus Christ, created in a cruel attempt to bring about a second coming. Unable to bear the thought of raising such a monstrous being, Cecilia chooses to end its life by tossing a heavy rock onto it. Her act of killing the baby marks her final rejection of the horrific, unnatural cycle she was forced into and a desire to regain her humanity after enduring unimaginable horrors. The ending highlights her decision to free herself from the religious and scientific horrors inflicted upon her, with her fleeing from the convent to start a new life, albeit forever scarred by her ordeal.
