Many of the horror genre’s all-time classics, such as Rosemary’s Baby (1969), The Exorcist (1973), and The Omen (1976), are based firmly in Christian beliefs, in an association that continues through to modern-day favourites like The Conjuring (2013). While Saint Maud, the debut film by British writer-director Rose Glass, is also a horror film with religion as its central theme, its unique approach offers a refreshing change of pace from this long-standing stereotype.
