Saint Maud
Having recently found God, self-effacing young nurse Maud arrives at a plush home to care for Amanda, a hedonistic dancer left frail from a chronic illness. When a chance encounter with a former colleague throws up hints of a dark past, it becomes clear there is more to sweet Maud than meets the eye.
Why it matters
A chilling dive into faith, obsession, and isolation that unspools with creeping dread and psychological precision.
- Morven Christie’s unsettling lead performance carries a tightrope walk between piety and madness.
- Director Rose Glass announces herself with a debut that balances arthouse rigor and genre tension.
- A fresh take on spiritual horror that probes loneliness and mental health without easy answers.
- For fans of slow-burn terror and films like *The Witch* or *Hereditary* that haunt long after the credits roll.
