“Forgive me my impatience, but I hope you’ll reveal your plan for me soon,” says a young woman, walking down a narrow alleyway in a seaside English town. Her name is Maud, the “saint” in the title of writer-director Rose Glass’s unsettling, undeniably awe-inducing debut, and she is talking to God: “I can’t shake the feeling that you must have saved me for something greater than this.” As played by the Welsh actor Morfydd Clark, Maud is mousy, wallflower-y, the kind of person you wouldn’t necessarily...

In the canon of religious horror films—exemplified by Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and The Exorcist (1973)—the devil has long made a habit of weaponizing the female body. If a possession intervenes between the body and soul, for the pious and unbelieving alike, the corporeal tends to betray or eclipse the spiritual, and so the devil seems to have the upper hand. In Saint Maud, the sophisticated debut feature from writer-director Rose Glass, the divine could not be more physical, as flesh-ripping as it is orgasmic. Morfydd Clark plays an eccentric young nurse who, in the wake of trauma, has converted to what looks an awful lot like Catholicism and has newly christened herself Maud. Now working in hospice care, her latest charge is a formerly feted dancer, Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), debilitated by what appears to be cancer. Amanda, an atheist, generally finds Maud’s piety amusing, if sometimes endearing. Maud, meanwhile,...

All hail Saint Maud as we prepare to rejoice in her ascension. A24‘s psycho-evangelical thriller will be the first horror movie shown in theaters since Covid-19 Stephen-King-novelized us all. And if that’s not scary enough, it’s being compared to Hereditary and The Witch as the next great modern horror film. The film will open nationwide on July 17.
Saint Maud is a “chilling and boldly original vision of faith, madness, and salvation in a fallen world,” according to its official website. “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.” This is the first feature from writer/director Rose Glass, who brings a vibe similar to the claustrophobic horror classics Rosemary’s Baby (1968) and Repulsion (1965).

With The Witch, Hereditary, and more, A24 has been in the business of giving emerging directors a platform to terrify audiences with a visually distinct style. The trend continues with their forthcoming March release Saint Maud, which is the directorial debut of Rose Glass and premiered to much acclaim back at Toronto International Film Festival earlier this fall. The studio has now unveiled the chilling first trailer for the film following a hospice nurse who becomes obsessed with the soul of her patient.
C.J. Prince said in our Tiff review, “Is there such a thing as “A24 horror” now? I had that thought watching Rose Glass’ debut feature Saint Maud. It feels indebted to some of the distributor’s titles, namely First Reformed and The Witch in how it tackles faith, good, and evil.

Rose Glass’ taut and trembling “Saint Maud” transmutes a young woman’s spiritual crisis into such a refined story of body horror that genre fans might feel like they’re having a religious experience. Of course, even the most overzealous viewers will find there’s always room for doubt — and that’s where the Devil gets in. A palliative care nurse in a dreary town somewhere along the British coast, the intensely devout Maud (a divine Morfydd Clark) is doing her best to seal the area around her soul. That seems to be one hell of a struggle. Soft-spoken but vibrating with serial killer intensity, Maud seldom opens her mouth when she’s not talking to God inside her acetic little apartment, reminding her lord and savior that she was meant for something greater.
