Saint Maud
Attachment 235435
I must be going nuts as I swear somebody reviewed this the other day but can't find it.
Anyway bought something and got a free trial of Amazon Prime.
Liked the look of this anyway and as it was free bunged it on pronto.
I really liked it, it's more of a psychological study than an outright Horror, but definitely creeps into that territory with many unnerving scenes, but I could see many mainstream Horror fans being disappointed as it's not yer usual gore and jump scares offering.
Instead it follows Maud who is obviously not playing with a full deck from the off, she seems good intentioned but lives a solitary life, where lacking meaning she turns to god for solace and then things slowly spiral out of control.
She is obviously suffering from some kind of mental disorder which manifests in hallucinations and fits, meanwhile she is nursing a dying woman and feels as though she has found an outlet and cause to put her faith to good use.
The performances are all really good and i was gripped as the story unfolded, the soundtrack has a nice uneasy vibe that at moments reminded me of the one from Under the Skin (2013).
Recommended 8/10
