Here in the States, A24’s Rose Glass-directed horror movie Saint Maud was finally released in select theaters last month, and it’s now headed *exclusively* to EPIX this month.
EPIX is bringing Saint Maud home on Friday, February 12, but if you’re wondering precisely how you can go about watching the movie, well, you’re probably not alone.
We realize these things can be a bit confusing, especially with so many different streaming services in play, so let’s break down how this is all going to work out next week.
We’re being told via EPIX today that Saint Maud will premiere at 8pm EST on February 12 on EPIX linear channels, but it will begin streaming through the EPIX NOW app at 12:01am ET on February 12. In other words, you’ll have to subscribe to EPIX NOW to stream the movie at your leisure. You can try EPIX NOW for $0.99/month for 2 months, then just $5.99/month. You can cast to your TV from the EPIX NOW mobile apps, or stream on multiple connected TV devices. All you need to do is sign up, and you’ll be able to stream Saint Maud at home on February 12.
If you’d rather watch live on the linear channel, you’ll have to wait until 8pm EST on 2/12. At this time, Saint Maud is exclusively being released by EPIX, so you won’t find it elsewhere.
EPIX, an MGM company, is a premium television network delivering a broad line-up of quality original series and documentaries, the latest movie releases and classic film franchises – all available on TV, on demand, online and across devices. EPIX is available nationwide through cable, telco, satellite and emerging digital distribution platforms as well as through its EPIX NOW app, providing more movies than any other network with thousands of titles available.
Saint Maud is described as “a chilling and boldly original vision of faith, madness, and salvation in a fallen world.”
“Maud, a newly devout hospice nurse, becomes obsessed with saving her dying patient’s soul — but sinister forces, and her own sinful past, threaten to put an end to her holy calling.”
Morfydd Clark (Love & Friendship) stars as Maud, with Tony and BAFTA-winning actress Jennifer Ehle (The Miseducation of Cameron Post) as Amanda.
Joe Lipsett called the film “an exquisite religious psychological thriller.”
