Review Tuesday: Heretic (2024)

 

 

HERETIC

(2024)

Two young missionaries knock on the wrong door. 

This was another tax-seaosn selection by my BFF. What's funny about that was only days earlier my wife and I were trying to decide on a movie to watch and almost selected this one, but decided against it. 

 

The movie opens with two young missionaries from LDS crossing town to get to an appointment. It seems perfectly pleasant. They arrive at the home of Mr. Reed who is expertly played as super-creepy by Hugh Grant. 

 

While this movie is QUITE GOOD, it reminds me of all those people I know who are fundamentalist atheists who want to impress upon the world how much more clever they are for NOT believing in religion. I would recommend this movie if you really like suspenseful horror. IN an aside, one of the stars of this movie is Sophie Thatcher as Sister Barnes who was the star of last week's movie reviewed COMPANION. She does an excellent job in this, along with Chloe East as Sister Paxton.
