Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaRose Glass originally wrote Maud with a more explicit backstory, but removed most of it in the final draft as she found it too similar to Carrie (1976), saying: "In early drafts, the character's backstory was quite different, she had this very extreme religious upbringing, went to Catholic school, all that stuff. But it just felt like a story I'd seen before, and it wasn't one I was particularly interested in retelling."
- Crazy creditsThe cockroach is credited as Nancy and is presumably named after Nancy Spungen. "Bug Wrangler," Grace Dickinson had another one called Sid.

Featured review
When the critics all fall into line
This is one of those movies where a couple of critics overdo their reviews and all the others feel they have to do the same or they will look dumb. So it gets overhyped. What happens here is a perfectly decent movie gets so hyped you are always going to be disappointed because it cannot possibly live up to that hyped reviewers drivel. Its a smart, clever movie that takes a while to get going, has a lot of padding and is not in any way a real horror film. It most certainly isnt "the scariest film of the decade" or whever that nonsense said. The lead is very good as is almost all the cast - pointless as some of them were. I liked the ending, thoiugh it was a little predictable. As an exploration of religious fervour in the wrong mind and the damage that can do, it certainly succeeds but if you are expecting the exorcist or anything like it, you will be disappointed. This is yet another example of critics trying to show how clever they are and at the same time, causing the movie to disappoint movie goers who, had they ignored those critics would probably have said, yeah, that was pretty good that - which is pretty much all it is. Scarborough is gorgeous as always though. if you've nebver been you should, quintessential English holiday spot.
