Premise

edit

To the world, sixteen-year-old Clare Bleecker appears to be a normal teenager: a Catholic school student, an animal lover and devout vegan living with her grandparents. But like the small town she lives in, Clare is more than she appears to be. Underneath her reserved appearance lives a sociopath with dissociative identity disorder - a serial killer.[4]

Cast

Production

edit

In January 2019, Deadline reported that Madelaine Petsch would play the titular character and also executive-produce the film.[6] However, in May 2022, Bella Thorne was announced to replace Petsch in the lead role after Petsch signed on to star in The Strangers: Chapter 1, causing her to drop out of the project.

In August 2022, it was announced that the film was in postproduction and had been re-titled to Saint Clare. [5]
