How it scared people
The vibe
Rose Glass turns a hospice nurse's private faith into a pressure cooker of ecstasy and delusion. It's an intimate, almost airless character study that keeps you guessing whether God is speaking or something is breaking — until a final shot you will not shake.

Saint Maud is rated R by the MPA. We score it 3/5 for jump scares, 2/5 for gore and 5/5 for lingering dread, over 84 minutes. Very little blood — the hard part here is atmosphere and aftermath, not graphic content. Older teens and adults — less for what it shows than for how long it stays with you.
We rate what the film does — scares, gore, dread — not scene-level content like language or nudity, which we don't track.
