Saint Maud - 2019 - 6/10

Category? Religious horror? I don’t know.
Maud, previously known as Katie, works as a carer for dying patients.
Previously she had been a nurse, though for reasons unexplained she no longer is.
Maud is a recent convert to Catholicism, and intensely devout.
Visions, voices, self-punishment inform her days, as does the need to save souls.
Meaning, her dying patient, whether she wants salvation or not.
Listed as horror, this is a study in fanaticism, and dangerous delusion.
For some, the thought of an ultra-pious soul taking charge of their life will be terrifying.
I am unsure how this resonates with viewers in an age where few attend church and belief seems casual.
Religious souls, truly spiritual types, not the sanctimonious, strike me as nearly extinct.
