Description

A bold and strikingly original psychological chiller, heralding the arrival of a bold new voice in British cinema - debut director Rose Glass - and a breakout lead performance from Morfydd Clark, Saint Maud is a deeply unnerving must-see for film-lovers and adventurous horror fans alike. Live-in nurse Maud arrives at the home of Amanda, a famous dancer now frail from illness and trapped in her grand, isolated house. At first Amanda is intrigued by this religious young woman, who provides distraction from her failing health. Maud, in turn, is bewitched by her new patient. But Maud is not all that she seems. She is tormented by a violent secret from her past and by ecstatic messages she believes are directly from God. She becomes convinced she has been sent to Amanda not simply as a nurse, but to serve a divine purpose. As her grip on reality slides out of control, Maud's care turns into a deadly mission to save Amanda’s soul, by any means necessary.

Not quite as billed

I was expecting something with shock and horror, but instead got a slow, slow-burn art film - some great filming, characters and sets, BUT I kept being reminded of a very mild Carrie meets The Exorcist - without the scary bits. The only edge of the seat moments were when deciding whether or not to turn it off or wait to see if anything happened. We stuck it out to the end hoping for some redemption but it never materialised. Shame.

Fantastic

Slow burn character study. Really unsettling, beautifully shot and dripping with atmosphere. Up there with Hereditary in terms of new wave horror.

It’s no horror movie

Maybe a Twisted drama. Don’t get your hopes up if you are looking for a scream. A few ‘shocks’ but nothing crazy.

Wasn’t memorable

I knew this’ll wouldn’t because you’re run of the mill horror but I wasn’t expecting something along the lines of hereditary. It was not anywhere’s near this level. Great acting but just a very boring film that failed to get much interest of build fear (for us) I’m glad it wasn’t too long but deffo not one I’d remember. Save your hard earned money.

Essential and utterly gripping

I simply cannot understand the negative reviews for this amazing film. My only reasoning is that I don’t consider it a “ horror” film in the traditional meaning of the word so people are expecting “jumps & scares” . I think it’s more a film about loneliness and mental illness and it is beautifully acted . For me this is the first “ must-see” film of the year. Stunning .

A slow burner for adults....

I think the artwork and publicity for this film is wrong, it will make younger people into slasher style scares and those less patient feel incredibly let down. This isn’t a horror film in the sense of ghosts and monsters, it is based upon the horror of life, death and loss high is something generally older people can relate to. It’s a story about a young woman who is lonely, bored and feels desperately that she has to be decent person and do good things and it eventually takes her over her entire being. I recommend this film to people who enjoy in depth, psychological slow burners that leave you emotionally moved for a day or two afterwards, other prospective viewers take my advice, please swerve it!!

Absolute rubbish

I am a huge fan of art house style horror and modern horrors like The Witch and Hereditary. I was really looking forward to this film. However it is painfully boring, and nothing interesting happens in the film.

Rubbish

Awful not scary at all didn’t make sense don’t waste your money on it .

The worst film i have ever seen

Just slow, boring and not even scary. This is NOT a horror film. Its just a weird rubbish fim. I've just wasted my money and time. The 5 star reviews are from film studio or promotion company and hence fake. The one star reviews are all genuine.

Absolutely chilling

If you don’t think this is good it’s because your too immature to watch a proper film

2021-02-04

Powerful

A great horror film with a really powerful central performance. It’s a slow burn for sure but well worth the ride. Highly recommended...

Rubbish

This has zero to do with religion,the most scary thing about it was the £9.99 I paid to watch it .Arty claptrap for the deluded .don’t bother .

Awful

Terrible. Boring. People say it’s like the exorcist, it’s nothing like it. Wasted my time

Absolutely appalling

I fail to understand how this movie has a SINGLE positive review, it tries so hard to be an art house film and a horror film, but falls flat on its face in both regards. It isn’t scary, like in the slightest. And it’s just plain boring. Save your money, go buy or rent something better.

Brilliant

A very scary, tense experience that will have you on the edge of your seat. The first hour is quite slow so if you aren’t very mature you won’t enjoy it, but when the horror comes, oh boy it’s brilliant. The ending is purely horrific and is 100% the best horror film since hereditary, just don’t go in expecting some jump scares it’s a mature film for mature movie watchers

Best horror of 2020 👻✝️

A brilliant new psychological horror, that will make you feel VERY uncomfortable!

Music and cinematography is chilling yet beautiful at the same time.

An extra bonus having my cousin Lily Frazer in it, who’s just gets more amazing in everything she does! Proud lil cousin here 🙋🏽‍♂️
