The acclaimed writing-directing duo of Scott Beck and Bryan Woods behind A Quiet Place are back with a new chilling horror offering, Heretic.
The film follows two young missionaries embarking on a journey of unwavering faith. The missionaries are tested when they end up on the doorstep of a most unsettling individual—Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant). This seemingly ordinary name belies a sinister reality. As Mr. Reed greets the missionaries, their world turns horrifying. They find themselves trapped in a deadly cat-and-mouse game, pushing their faith to its limits.
The film boasts a captivating cast led by Hugh Grant, who delivers what has been described as his best performance to date. Grant, known for his comedic roles in movies like Four Weddings and a Funeral, takes a dramatic shift. Stars Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East join him as determined missionaries and are thrust into a terrifying situation.
Beck and Woods, known for crafting suspenseful narratives, have once again woven a chilling tale. Heretic delves into the depths of psychological horror. It explores themes of faith, manipulation, and the darkness lurking beneath the surface of seemingly ordinary encounters.
