When young Mormon missionaries Sister Barnes (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Paxton (Chloe East) visit the home of the seemingly affable Mr. Reed (Hugh Grant), they quickly find themselves trapped in a deadly intellectual and psychological game. What begins as a polite theological debate takes a dark turn as their host’s genial facade crumbles, revealing a far more sinister agenda.

As social norms fracture and survival instincts take over, Heretic becomes a twisted psychological thriller that expertly blends faith, fear, and philosophy. Written and directed by A Quiet Place scribes Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the film excels in its unnerving tension, driven by sharp dialogue and a delightfully unsettling turn from Grant – whose remarkable career second act is yielding unpredictable and brilliant performances.
