'Saint Maud' Full Cast List: Meet Morfydd Clark, Jennifer Ehle, Turlough Convery and other stars of A24 horror
‘Saint Maud’, a “chilling and boldly original vision of faith, madness, and salvation in a fallen world”, follows Maud, a hospice nurse, and a newly devout Roman Catholic, who becomes obsessed with saving a dying patient -- Amanda, a dancer, and choreographer from the U.S. who is terminally ill with stage four lymphoma and confined to a wheelchair. Maud comes to believe that God has tasked her with saving the atheist Amanda's soul. But sinister forces, and her own sinful past, threaten to put an end to her holy calling.
The debut film from writer-director Rose Glass, sees the ritual lead go from sugary sweet to murderous in a matter of seconds, and it promises, as do all A24 psychological thrillers, to be a breathtaking glance into a person’s slow descent into a psychotic break. Let’s take a look at the film’s cast:
