Bafta nominee Morfydd Clark has said doors are finally opening in the horror genre after historical “huge problems” with the genre in its treatment of women and minorities.

The Welsh actress, 32, was the star of the critically acclaimed 2020 horror film Saint Maud, playing a palliative care nurse and recent convert to high Catholicism who becomes obsessed with a former dancer in her care, and believes she must save her soul.
