Movies that feel likeSaint Maud (2020)

Having recently found God, self-effacing young nurse Maud arrives at a plush home to care for Amanda, a hedonistic dancer left frail from a chronic illness. When a chance encounter with a former colleague throws up hints of a dark past, it becomes clear there is more to sweet Maud than meets the eye.

If you loved Saint Maud, the closest films we have are The Blackcoat's Daughter (2017), You're Next (2013) and Pulse (2001). All three share Saint Maud's dread and unsettling feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Resolution (2013).
