  • Maud from Saint Maud

    Maud from Saint Maud
    Feb 4 2026

    It might be a stretch to call Maud from Saint Maud (2019) a Final Girl, because there’s no slasher, no chase sequence, no one coming to save her — not even God. Her horror is internal, spiritual, and exquisitely lonely. This episode explores Maud as a woman desperate for meaning in a world that offers her none, and how that desperation turns her inward, toward Heaven, and then outward with devastating consequences.

    Spoiler Warning: This episode spoils everything and if you’ve seen it, yes – including the part you’re thinking about.

    PLEASE LEAVE US A RATING AND REVIEW! It will get you into Heaven!
