If there were ever a case of a stellar directing debut more poorly treated in the marketplace than “Saint Maud,” I’d like to hear about it. A startling psychological horror story with a breakout performance by Welsh actress Morfydd Clark, the film was the talk of the 2019 Toronto Film Festival, got snapped up by indie distributor A24, and then saw its theatrical release scotched by the pandemic. It opened in mostly-empty movie houses last month (none in Boston) and finally comes to video on demand this week — exclusively on the EPIX subscription streaming platform. Thus the Balkanization of content prompted by the streaming platform wars punishes audiences and filmmakers alike.
