10 Horror Movie Characters Who Were Their Own Worst Enemy

Saint Maud is a bit of a misnomer, as its main character Maud is anything but. Writer-director Rose Glass' indie debut sees Morfydd Clark take on the mantle of the titular young hospice nurse, whose newfound Roman Catholic tendencies mingle with her growing psychopathy, resulting in devastating effects for those in her care.

Identity -- or a lack thereof -- is central to the many ways in which Maud fails herself and the vulnerable people who are exposed to her, most notably atheistic dancer and choreographer Amanda (Jennifer Ehle), who is terminally ill with stage four lymphoma. In a case of extreme over-adjustment, Maud attempts to bury a hedonistic past in which she was responsible for the death of one of her charges, by acting holier-than-thou and thrusting her religion and moral strictures on those around her.

Rather than seek psychological help, Maud looks outside of herself and blames the world while failing to deal with her own issues, ultimately ending in the murder of Amanda and Maud's self-immolation on the beach.
