Two young missionaries are forced to prove their faith when they knock on the wrong door and are greeted by a diabolical Mr. Reed, becoming ensnared in his deadly game of cat-and-mouse.
Maturity and the chiller genre have added a certain something to Grant’s habitual mannerisms, on display as ever here: the sudden mischievous grin and the wide-eyed conspiratorial “eek!” grimace of mock dismay.
It’s a tremendously enjoyable type of horror, full of giggle-inducing jump scares, but sending you off with some intelligent questions to gnaw on.
It’s a recipe for setting an audience on edge, and the more it simmers, the more Heretic proves itself a compelling, inventive thriller driven by three great central performances.
