The debut film from writer-director Rose Glass, Saint Maud is a chilling and boldly original vision of faith, madness, and salvation in a fallen world. Maud, a newly devout hospice nurse, becomes obsessed with saving her dying patient’s soul — but sinister forces, and her own sinful past, threaten to put an end to her holy calling.The film - which opens in UK cinemas this weekend - has been picking up incredible buzz from those in the know over the last few months. None other than Mark Kermode raved about it on Twitter after seeing it.
Indie Wire said Saint Maud is the sort of film that might make horror fans "feel like they’re having a religious experience." Den of Geek called it "an intense and terrifying spiritual horror movie that deserves high praise." Saint Maud is in cinemas October 9th.Highlight of today - seeing Rose Glass's SAINT MAUD - a film that recalls the ambiguities of Hans Christian-Schmid's REQUIEM and the madness of Michael Tolkin's THE RAPTURE, with a mesmerising central performance by Morfydd Clark.
