Both are no longer Mormons

Narrative

Two young religious women get involved in a cat-and-mouse game in a strange man’s house.. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East in Heretic, plus more modern women killing the horror game.. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East were both raised Mormons, so they were able to provide valuable insights into the religion during the filming of the movie. The credits state that no generative AI was used in the making of the film.. Featured in Movie Reviews: Heretic | The Best Christmas Show Ever (2024). The Air That I Breathe Written by Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood Arranged and directed by John Scott Starring The Hollies. If like me, you watched this movie because you wanted to see Hugh Grant play a creepy villain, then you won’t be disappointed. Heretic is the story of 2 young Mormons who visit the home of Mr. Reed, played by Hugh Grant.

Now for Mr

However, things are not as they seem. Out of the gate, you meet the 2 Mormons, Sister Barnes played by Sophie Thatcher and Sister Paxton played by Chloe East. Personally, I started watching this movie for the Hugh Grant show, but these 2 actresses held their own and both gave great performances. With this movie only having 3 characters, it’s important that 2/3 of the cast give their all, and they did! Sophie Thatcher’s character, Sister Barnes, I would say is the deeper of the 2 Mormons and is the more knowledgeable of the 2. Chloe East’s character, Sister Paxton, who is the new missionary who feels more of a believer than her counterpart and is eager to convert and spread the word of God. Both of their performances mainly consist of them being terrified of Mr. Reed and thankfully neither of them fall into the dumb protagonist trope. Reed, played by Hugh Grant.

And he is

It’s hard to pin down exactly how Hugh Grant plays this character so well. Because the way he carries himself is not inherently creepy or scary in any way. It’s more of a case of context that makes Mr. Reed creepy. The way he delivers his dialogue is so calm and in a way like he’s giving a lecture. He’s trying to educate and enlighten the 2 Mormons. The way Mr. Reed grossed me out was the way he is condescending and talks down to you. That and the fact that we are in a weird spooky house, where the lights are set on a timer and the ceiling is dripping.

Reed just looks weird!

Mr. I mentioned the dialogue above. Writers/directors Scott Beck and Bryan Woods wrote Heretic beautifully. Giving each character their own identity through their dialogue. Heretic had great cinematography with effective use of close ups and wide shots. The sound design was simple but effective. The sound of creaking floorboards, drips and old metal locks and doors really emphasized the idea of ​​an old rustic house. Now, this is a spoiler-free review, so I won’t discuss too much of that, but one aspect of the film that I wish they’d explored more was the idea of ​​the maze. The figurines and maze model are featured in the poster and trailer for the film, but they aren’t that prominent in the film.

But what was there was simple and effective

So if you were expecting a horror film with a maze, then you’d be disappointed. That being said, the set was pretty minimal, there wasn’t much to discuss. The key theme of Heretic is religion and faith. This film does a great job of showing both sides of the coin without seeming to favor or attack one opinion over another. It handled this balancing act well, which is important, so as not to seem like it’s attacking its audience’s views or beliefs. I will say that I didn’t think the film was that scary. That doesn’t bother me too much, but it came out around Halloween and was marketed as a horror film, so that might affect your enjoyment of the film, depending on what you were expecting.
