Hugh Grant Stuns in A24's New Horror Film 'Heretic'

Directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the film features Grant as a sinister antagonist engaging two Mormon missionaries in a tense psychological battle.

• Heretic is the latest horror film from A Quiet Place writers Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, set to release on November 8.
• The film stars Hugh Grant as Mr. Reed, a charming yet malevolent character whose true intentions unfold throughout the movie.
• Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East play Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton, two Mormon missionaries who become entangled in Reed's sinister plans.
• The movie is praised for its intense dialogue-driven narrative, focusing on religious philosophy and psychological manipulation.
• Critics note that while the first half of Heretic is exceptionally strong, the second half, though still engaging, does not quite match the initial intensity.
