FFFA: Saint Maud

“Maud is like Carrie White and her mother Margaret rolled into one unholy holy terror; as played with brilliant, blood- freezing intensity by Morfydd Clark, she's a genre anti-heroine to cherish, protect and recoil from, sometimes all at once.”

Australian Premiere

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 latest horror film by indie production company A24 (The Witch, Hereditary, Midsommar).
