Lupita Nyong’o in “Us,” Toni Collette in “Hereditary” and now Sydney Sweeney in “Immaculate.” All are part of a small group of modern horror performances that grab you without ever letting go. While the genre might get overlooked when it comes to awards at the end of every year, all of these performers show they are the real deal. For Sweeney, it is more proof that, following films like the underseen drama “Clementine” and the minimalist thriller “Reality,” she is one of the most talented actors of her generation.

First rising to fame for her role in the HBO series “Euphoria,” it is now in “Immaculate” where she emerges, reborn, as a terrific screen presence who feels like she is only getting started with what she can do.
