A24’s Next Hot Horror Title is ‘Saint Maud’!
As much as I love the Conjuring films and various ’80s slasher icons, I’m a huge sucker for arthouse horror, which has become A24’s specialty. With that, if you’re a fan of The Witch, Hereditary or Midsommar, you’re surely pumped for The Lighthouse and In Fabric. But what comes after?
A24 has acquired North American rights to writer/director Rose Glass’ feature directorial debut Saint Maud straight out of the Toronto International Film Festival where critics are raving, including our own Joe Lipsett, who called it an “exquisite religious psychological thriller.“
“Saint Maud is slow, and moody, and gorgeous, and powerful,” he adds. “It’s simply good cinema.”
The movie centers on a pious but unstable nurse, Maud, who becomes convinced that she must save the soul of her dying employer, Amanda, as signs of eternal damnation begin to present themselves in their isolated seaside town. Morfydd Clark (Love & Friendship) stars as Maudz, while Tony and BAFTA-winning actress Jennifer Ehle (The Miseducation of Cameron Post) plays Amanda.

Keanu Reeves Describes Untitled Time Loop Thriller from Director Tim Miller as ‘Groundhog Day’ With Sharks
At one point known as Shiver, Tim Miller‘s (Deadpool, Terminator: Dark Fate) next movie doesn’t yet have a title, but star Keanu Reeves offers a very intriguing tease this week.
Chatting with Collider, Reeves explains what drew him to the mysterious upcoming project from director Tim Miller. He tells the outlet, “Sharks. Time machine. Groundhog Day.”
That lines up with early plot details that surfaced earlier this year, with the film said to center on a “smuggler in the middle of a deadly double-cross while on a job in the Caribbean Sea.”
That synopsis continued, “Surrounded by bodies, hostile mercenaries, and bloodthirsty sharks, the man finds himself in a time loop and scrambling to break the cycle.”
Callie Cooke (“The Stranger”), Stefan Kapičić (Deadpool), Steven Waddington (Sleepy Hollow), Nicholas Duvernay (“The White Lotus”), Abraham Popoola (Cruella), Anastasia Safonov, and Bobby Holland Hanton (Thor: Love and Thunder) also star.
Ian Shorr (Splinter, Infinite) penned the screenplay for the sci-fi thriller, which had previously been described as having shades of Edge of Tomorrow and The Shallows.
Stay tuned for more on the untitled Warner Bros. project.
