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.

Disaster seems inevitable, but what makes Saint Maud so nail-bitingly tense is that it's impossible to guess the form in which it'll come...

St. Maud marks a stunning feature film debut for writer-director Rose Glass. Understated yet opulent, measured, and intensely creepy, it's a tour de force in balancing uncomfortable levels of tension and suspense with deep pathos.

Glass makes a number of savvy directorial choices throughout Saint Maud, and the sharpest is to limit what we see, hear, and know to her heroine's point of view.

The last act really ups the tension because of the uncertainty of how it is going to end, and when it comes it is deeply disturbing and satisfying.

Saint Maud is a terrifying exploration of what happens when we seemingly find our path illuminated — and what darkness we’ll embrace if it means getting that much closer to the light.

Saint Maud combines traditional horror elements with mordant social observation.

From a healthcare workers perspective this was a chilling watch. Her feeling "God" in the beginning was initially a little confusing but once I got the hang of what was going on it made more sense. I also thought it added to an unknown factor in the movie. I love the suspense and never knowing what’s going to happen. The ending of the movie was pleasantly not at all what I expected. It truly delivered. I loved this movie and would highly recommend it.

Saint Maud is the movie equivalent of a child who can't decide what they want to be when they grow up. It was kind of a horror movie; it was kind of about someone turning to religion after a very vaguely conveyed earlier trauma; it was kind of about loneliness. As often happens when you try to do too many things at once, it did none of them well. Because Katie/Maud's history was never made even remotely clear, her psychological progression through the movie was implausible. And other than Maud, and to a lesser extent, Amanda, all the other characters were just cardboard tropes. Don't waste your time on this movie.

Quiet movie. Loud loneliness. Not really about faith more about isolation getting too loud. Morfydd Clark holds the entire spiral together. A human mind left alone long enough can become its own religion.

Slow burner with an amazing crescendo at the end! Was it all just in her head? Who knows and does it really make a difference???
