Heretic15

Directed by Scott Beck & Bryan Woods | USA | 2024 | 1h 51m | Starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East, Topher Grace, Elle Young.

Two young Mormon missionaries go door-to-door in a quiet suburban neighbourhood, spreading the message of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. When they knock on the door of a reclusive Englishman, he invites them inside to discuss their faith. But as the visit takes a dark turn, the two Sisters find themselves in a desperate fight to escape. Hugh Grant stars in this delightfully twisted and darkly funny chamber horror from writer-directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (A Quiet Place).

Reviews

‘While Beck and Woods flirt with convention in the film’s later stages, as it grows wilder and more gruesome, Heretic is a wordy horror that holds up surprisingly well under scrutiny.’
★★★★
Clarisse Loughery, The Independent

‘An incredibly tense, tightly contained bottle horror, showcasing a genuinely chilling turn from Hugh Grant. You’ll never watch Notting Hill the same way again.’
★★★★
James Dyer, Empire Magazine
