Two young missionary “sisters” are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant, in one of the most talked about performances of 2024), becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse. With Sophie Thatcher, Chloe East, Topher Grace.

“There is no way to compete with the all-consuming and utterly mesmerizing performance of heartthrob-turned-unhinged-psychopath Hugh Grant … He is charming in a grotesque way, like a blueberry pie mottled by maggots.” (Seattle Refined)

“A complex debate on the legitimacy of religion that arrives framed in absolutely captivating staging.” (Los Angeles Times)

“If ‘Heretic’ proves nothing else, it’s that creepy, evil Hugh Grant is the best Hugh Grant.” (Rolling Stone Magazine)

“Hugh Grant uses his charm for evil in this provocative cat-and-mouse game about the meaning, if any, of religion in a godless modern world. The romcom dreamboat of yore has been replaced by a diabolical presence eager to send us all to hell. What fun.” (ABC News)
