'Saint Clare' Review: Religious Serial-Killer Thriller Has No Clear Identity

"Everything I have said and done has been in the hands of God. I was born to do this. I am not afraid." Bella Thorne's vigilante serial killer protagonist repeats this powerful Joan of Arc quote several times throughout Saint Clare. Based on author Don Roff's 2021 novel Clare at Sixteen, director and co-writer Mitzi Peirone's 2024 film — also penned by Guinevere Turner, of Go Fish and American Psycho fame — centers on enigmatic small-town college student Clare Bleeker (Thorne), whose drifter childhood left her unable to sustain long-term intimacy. Still, she's left a bloody mark on every town and city she's briefly called home, murdering immoral and downright evil men and getting away with it every time.
