February Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss12 of 35
Saint Maud | Available Friday, Feb. 12 on Epix
Plot: A pious nurse becomes dangerously obsessed with saving the soul of her dying patient.
Our Take: I'll avoid the overused suggestion that recent horror films have transcended the genre, as it implies that horror isn't worthy of such esteem. But the brand of horror that A24 has been releasing for nearly a decade has no doubt raised the bar. Director Rose Glass' feature debut is a creepy twist on religious horror that is sure to have you squirming throughout. — James
