About this listen

Saint Maud is a film about devotion that refuses uncertainty.

What drives the horror isn’t doubt or temptation, but certainty—belief held so tightly that it eliminates alternatives. Faith becomes a closed system, immune to contradiction, where suffering is reinterpreted as purpose and consequence is reframed as reward.

This episode examines how Saint Maud constructs belief as a self-authorizing force. The film’s terror emerges from the way devotion collapses inward, converting isolation, pain, and moral conviction into a single, escalating logic. There is no external judgment required—belief supplies its own verdict.

In Saint Maud, faith doesn’t ask to be tested.
It asks to be obeyed.
