Jewel once asked "who will save your soul" and when Morfydd Clark made Saint Maud with Rose Glass, she answered enthusiastically "I will!" We've got one of those "reality vs. fantasy" storylines again as a feverishly devout Catholic deals with her delusions (if they ARE that) while battling with her dying patient (Jennifer Ehle). Glass was making her directorial debut and, while her movie isn't bone-chilling, it's a quality slow burn. She saves the horrible violence for the end. Glass knows how to do body horror and she finishes with a phenomenal last shot. Scary Movie Month still has 2 more shows to go, but this surprise 691st episode does a little praying about the weird world of a nurse and her blind faith.

Don't be a one-track Maud when you contact me with an email ([email protected]) or a tweet (@moviefiend51) or a Bluesky (ryan-ellis).

Oh, and subscribe to Have You Ever Seen in your app. Spread the word with your movie chums, but also rate and review the show.

And one last thing: Letterboxd. I have a channel on there (RyanHYES) where I do brief reviews of recent movies, often ones I saw in the theatre. The goal is to find a fun angle on the story or the characters.
