On March 13, She Is Risen kicks off with the directors cut ofThe Exorcist, featuring iconic turns fromLinda BlairandEllen Burstyn. On March 20, theyll showRosemarys Baby, featuringMia Farrowin an astonishing performance. On March 27, contemporary classic The Conjuringscreens, with great turns fromVera FarmigaandLili Taylor. And then on April 1,Saint Maudscreens before it releases generally in theaters two days later. Now, for a series on female-fronted horror classics, I do think this list hassomeflaws (besidesSaint Maud, no films directed by women? No WOC? A film fromRoman Polanski, whom you should Google if you dont know why thats bad?). But these flaws are small potatoes compared to the wonderful horror education one can receive from this screening series and from personal experience, if you havent experienced the horrors of The Exorciston the big screen, run dont walk.

Heres the intel on tickets and locations for the She Is Risen screening series. Below, the official synopsis ofSaint Maud. For more on the film, check out the new trailer, and our rapturous review.

The debut film from writer-director Rose Glass, Saint Maud is 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 patients soul but sinister forces, and her own sinful past, threaten to put an end to her holy calling.
